device) which is used to assist in lifting to an upright position, as well as for support. Once sufficient
height is attained, the patient can proceed with walking exercises.
Walking and Standing Slings
1. Take hold of the sling at base of back section ensuring that the quilted side will fit against the
person’s body. The handle loops at the back will then be visible when the sling is fitted.
2. Introduce the sling by sliding it down between the chair backrest and the person’s back so that it
touches the chair seat.
3. Draw the complete leg and aperture sections under the person’s upper thighs and buttocks. This
is made easier if the person can be turned to one side.
4. The leg sections should then be brought up between the thighs. The outer flaps should wrap
around the legs to cover the inner flaps. Connect the four buckles and tension the leg straps to
give a firm snug fit by pulling on the loose straps ends.
5. Bring the chest sections around the body and overlap the short chest flap section with the long
chest flap. Connect the two buckles and tension the chest straps to give a firm snug fit.
6. When using a ceiling lift, the chair must be positioned at right angles to the track. (The sling is not
suitable for use with all ceiling lifts. Please check with your supplier.)
7. Raise the carry bar just enough to tension the straps and ensure that they are still securely
attached.
8. The person can now be raised to the standing position. To remove the sling, carry out the fitting
procedure in reverse.
9. Lower the carry bar of the ceiling lift to approximately the seated person’s eye level height.
Attach all four straps to the carry bar using loops of the same colour. Block the person’s knees
with a bed or frame. (Instructions also apply to fig. 6b). The sling is not suitable with all ceiling
lifts. Please check with your supplier.
