TM
SitWalk, 140 x 12cm/55 x 5", is used for repositioning farther back in the chair/wheelchair when the patient has slid
forward. It is equipped with several handles to ensure a good working stance for the caregiver.
SystemRoMedic is a series of different models of transfer assistive devices. The choice of assistive devices depends on
the transfer situation and the patient's functional capability and needs.

Functional inspection

Visual inspection
Check the condition and function of the assistive device regularly. Always inspect the product after laundering. Check to
ensure that seams and material are free from damage. Check to ensure that fabric is not worn or faded. If there are signs
of wear, the product must be discarded.
Functional inspection
Pull on the handles to ensure that they withstand a heavy load. If there are
signs of wear, the product must be discarded.
Placement and removal of SitWalk
Place SitWalk under the thighs and close to the seat, with the handles facing out from the body. Pull on the handles
alternately from the right and left side, so that the strap slides against the thighs and inward towards the buttocks.
Raising the patient's feet from the floor will relieve some of the weight of the thighs from the seat, thereby making
repositioning easier.
Remove SitWalk by pulling alternately on the handles, so that it slides farther out on the thighs until it can be fully removed
without moving the patient.
