Placing the slings – at the wheelchair
The Leg sling is lead under the thigh
at the back of the knee joint.
The Leg sling is pulled through,
taking care not to shear the user's
skin, so that the sling is evenly
placed with equal amounts of sling
fabric on both sides of leg.
The Leg sling is mounted to the
lifting hanger and the thigh can now
be lifted slightly from the seat. The
sitting transfer sling's thig strap can
now be placed either beneath the
user's thigh or be drawn out without
harming the skin.
