Up
Ensure the patient is comfortable and fully supported before releasing the brakes and proceeding
carefully with the transfer.
WARNING
When transferring to or from a wheeled/movable surface such as a commode, wheelchair
or bed, ensure the brakes (of that surface) are applied to avoid any inadvertent movement
and ensure a safer, more stable transfer.
Wheel the patient directly in front of the target surface and apply the brakes. Open the Up's legs
to help navigate and get close to wider furniture including bulky commodes and armchairs.
Ask the patient to grasp the crossbar and raise themselves into a standing position, providing
assistance if required.
