ENGLISH

HOW TO FIT FROM SEATED POSITION

Ensure the hand grips and seams are on the
outside and feed the sling down the back of the
client, leaving the top of the commode aperture
at the base of the spine. Check the sling is square
at the shoulders.

Pass strap C up through strap B then repeat for
other leg using strap D through strap A.

Bring the longest leg piece stiffener forward so
that it is parallel with the long bone of the thigh.
Ensuring that the leg piece is not twisted, take
the shortest leg piece stiffener under and up
between the legs. Repeat this procedure for the
other leg. Cross strap A through strap B.

Check the sling is smooth under the and the
position is comfortable. Move the hoist into
position and attach the leg straps at the
penultimate loop. Raise the hoist and attach
the short loops at the shoulder to maintain an
upright sitting position. The hoist may move
towards the client as you do this. When reseating
the client, the hand grips may be used to ensure
good posture.

GOLDEN RULE: LONG IN THE LEG, SHORT IN THE SHOULDER
