The purpose of the tilt table training is to mobilize the patient and avoid complications when bedridden for a
long period of time. The patient is given active training in a stepless chosen angle position.
The EZ Classic Tilt Table makes it possible for the patients, by themselves, to maneuver the tilting and training
effects due to the electrical tilting engine. Assistance with transferring the patient onto the tilt table and to be
fixed to the surface is necessary.
The EZ Classic Tilt Table provides a smooth and effortless lift from a horizontal to an upright position. The Tilt
Table is a logical choice for patients who have paralysis, are bedridden or wheelchair bound who would benefit
from passive standing to improve circulation or reduction of lower extremity edema.
Safety Notes
Before tilting, make sure that all transport tapes/straps are removed and that nothing can be pinched between
frames and lying surface.
Maximum weight to be placed on lying surface is 330 lbs.
Test and try every function on the tilt table.
The tilt table is intended for use in a dry environment and indoors.
Be cautious when tilting (tipping) a patient with heart diseases. It is always necessary to consult a doctor when
tilt rehabilitation is planned for a patient.
We remind you to train by yourself to experience the “tilt” feeling that the patients might find unusual. This
helps to understand if the patients will react differently.
All interior organs function much better in a vertical position. When tilt training, you help body functions to
drain, which eliminates constipation. This causes the urine bladder to function better and prevents osteoporosis.
Even after a short time when bedridden, circulation disorders can occur so that the patient might faint when
tilting too sudden and too fast. By gradually getting used to an increased tilting angle, you reduce the risk of
fainting.
It is advisable to check blood pressure and pulse frequently and ALWAYS have eye contact with the patient
when starting the tilt rehabilitation. Put one hand on the patient’s shoulder or hold the patient’s hand to
minimize patient worries that can increase blood pressure and pulse. When a patient can stand in a straight
upright position (90°) without a blood pressure disorder or increasing pulse, it is time to use other rehabilitation
equipment.
Always study this manual carefully before operating the Classic Tilt Table. Operating instructions and
recommended maintenance procedures are explained in the following pages.
Only qualified staff who understand all operating and safety procedures may operate this equipment. The Tilt
Table is designed for years of trouble-free operation when properly used and maintained.

Patient Handling Procedure
After being acquainted with the functions on the
EZ Classic Tilt Table, the easiest way to transfer a
patient is from a supine position. Alternately use a
ceiling lift or a floor lift.
The tilt table frame has a clearance height of 150
mm, adapted to almost every patient lifter on the
market. The tilt table has a low flat position of 600
mm from floor, allowing an easy transfer.
1. Lock all wheels. Make sure that the front wheels
are in line with the frame side and don’t interfere
with the footplate in the up tilted position.
2. Place the patient so that both feet have good
contact on the footplate. A pillow needs to be
under the patient’s head. It is preferable to have
no shoes on feet, giving a better feeling and
stimulating the blood circulation.
3. Set the desired angle on the footplate. Three
alternative positions are available. Make sure the
footplate locks securely in its proper position.
4. Fixate the chest with the thin sling belt,
enclosed. The sling belt should be placed under
the arms and around the chest.
5. Attach the sling belt in the loops and tighten,
giving good support and good fixation. Do the
same with the hip sling belt.
6. Place a small half rounded pillow under the knee
joints so they are bent a little.
7. Place the wide sling belt over the knees with one
over and one under knee joint. Tighten.
8. Mount the table (option) if this is going to be
used. The table should not replace the chest sling
belt before you are sure that the patient is stable
in the hip area.
9. Keep eye contact and put one hand on the
patient’s shoulder. Raise a few degrees and allow
the patient to get used to the position. Step by
step, increase the raising angle. End the training
session after approximately 15-20 minutes.
The patient will get tired, so shorter training
sessions are preferable in the beginning.
You can also develop and extend the training in
combination with a pulley, hand weights, training
rubber bands or other similar devices.
Record the achieved training time and angle
positions for each patient. The angle indicator is
located on the backside of the lying surface.
