General
Features
Pediturn is a slim, lightweight turnplate for floor use
in connection with manual handling in the standing or
seated position, where the client must rotate but is not
capable of moving his/her legs without assistance.
Thank you for choosing an Etac product.

the products, read the manual carefully.
The person described as "the client" in this user manual is

uct. The carer or carers are the people who manoeuvre the
product.

Use
Positioning
Place Pediturn on the floor. Position the client's feet on
the middle of Pediturn so that the client's legs are per-
pendicular to the device.
Use
When manually handling a client in the seated position, the
client's legs will now follow the client, thus avoiding strain
on the client's foot, knee and hip joints (Illustration 2).
When manually handling a client standing, it is crucial that
the client can stand/bear his/her own weight. The carer
guides the client to the standing position and ensures that
the client holds his/her balance. Ideally, the carer places one
foot on the middle of Pediturn to help the client turn into
the correct position. Then the client can slowly sit down
again (Illustration 1).
It will often be advantageous to use a Support Belt, Sling or
SmartMove with Pediturn.
