Switch
Returning to a Seated Position:
Position the Switch suitably in front of the target surface and apply the brakes.
Ensure the patient is standing comfortably and securely, keeping their hands on the frame for
assistance/balance.
Release the clip on the Patient Handling Belt strap and un-hook from the curved vertical hook.
Tuck it away to the side of the belt to avoid any inadvertent snagging.
Providing necessary assistance, instruct the patient to gradually lower themselves in a controlled
manner to a seated position.
