4. Continue lifting the client. It may be ne-
cessary to lower the bed slightly. Raise the
client's legs slightly while turning him/her
away from the bed. It is a good idea to put
your arm around the client while you are
moving him/her to create a greater sense
of security.
Lifting the client from a sitting position
1. Pull the sling down behind the client's
back. Take note of the marking on the sling
(outside up). The bottom edge of the sling
must be behind the client's coccyx. Pull the
leg sections through to the front.
2. Pull the leg sections up between the
client's legs. Lower the lift to the height of
the clients's stomach. When a three-point
suspension is used, you should thread the
left leg section through the loop on the
outside of the right leg section. Attach the
leg section lifting straps to the leg hook on
the lift. Turn the lift around and attach the
back section lifting straps onto the lift bar.
Hold the lift away from the client's face
with one hand as you raise the lift.
Alternative: The sling can also be used for
two- or four-point suspension. In this case
the strap on the right leg section is not
used. Instead the leg sections are crossed.
