7 .00

Placing the slings

Place the sling on the user's shoulders
and/or the wheelchair's backrest.
To ensure the sling is centered, the
center marks and the pocket should
follow the user's backbone.
Use hand pocket to ease positioning of
sling.
Use the correct hanger width.
Have the user lean forward.
Put your hand in the sling pocket and allow
your hand and the sling to follow the back
down to the chair cushion.
Hold your hand between the user's hip
and the inside of the sling at the back
support and press down the sling
around the user's hips.
At the same time pull the leg support
forward towards the knees with your
other hand.
When a sling size 4XL standard is used,
ensure that the sling is pulled gently under
the user's buttocks and hip.
