In this document the person who is lifted is referred to as the user and the person assisting him/her as the
care giver.
Before using the body support, ensure that the following conditions are fulfilled:
■the body support is only used with a Handi-Move hoist;
■the caregivers concerned have received suitable instructions and training;
■you have carefully read and fully understood the user's guide;
■the user is positioned safely and comfortably so that no part of his body is subject to distress;
■the user has been tested for his or her suitability;
■the body support is securely attached to the hooks;
■the thigh supports are securely attached to the body support;
■the body support is lowered vertically above the user;
■the cups are positioned correctly on the user's chest;
■the user's arms are kept outside of the body support;
■the safety band is used when the user is supported in a standing position or makes (spastic) motions that could
disrupt the support provided by the body support.
Do not use the body support if it shows signs of severe wear or if it is damaged.
Lift the user in a 90-degree sitting posture.
 
In case of weak muscle tone, the body support may not provIde effectIve support and the
user can slIp out of the body support, even If the safety band or muscular dystrophy thIgh
supports are used. for thIs reason, always check to see whether the user Is suItable for
the body support.
If any change In the physIcal condItIon or mental state should occur (e.g. reduced hand
functIon, cognItIve capabIlItIes), the use of the body support as a self-lIftIng devIce must
be re-evaluated.
adjust the length of the thIgh supports so that the user's legs are lIfted at the same tIme
as hIs or her torso.
when you are usIng the body support wIthout thIgh supports (see 6.7 & 6.8):
• the user must contInue to rest hIs or her feet on the floor for support.
• the user must be able to support part of hIs or her body weIght.
• If the user can support hImself or herself wIth theIr feet on the floor or some other
surface, less of theIr weIght Is carrIed by the cups, whIch also reduces the grIp on
theIr torso. as a result, the user can slIp free of the cups. for thIs reason, always use
the specIal safety band (see sectIon 3.2. accessorIes).
If any change In the physIcal condItIon or mental state occurs (I.e. reduced hand func-
tIon, cognItIve capabIlItIes,…), the use of the body support as a self lIftIng devIce must
be re-evaluated.

Muscular dystrophy thigh supports are used to prevent persons with weak muscle tone from slipping out of the
body support. They are often used with muscular dystrophy patients. These thigh supports can also be used with
amputees.
■In order to slide the Velcro strap over the thigh support, first place the
thigh support in the correct position, with the longer end facing forward.
■Slide the Velcro strap over the thigh support so the longer strip of Velcro
faces downward and the metal buckle is suspended from the inside of
the thigh.
■Secure the Velcro strap to the thigh support by pulling the narrow por-
tion of the strap over and then under the thigh support and fastening it to
the Velcro material on the bottom side of the Velcro strap.
■The thigh supports must be fitted near the upper end of the thighs, with
the long end facing the back of the knee. The thigh supports can be fit-
ted either on the outside or on the inside of the legs.
■Pull the strap through the metal buckle and close it firmly around the
thigh above the knee.

step 1. Lower the body support vertically from above the user until the
lower edge of the cups is approximately 0.79 inch / 2.00 cm
above the user's thighs.
step 2. Place the cups on the user's chest and ensure that they remain
far enough below the armpits. To do this, either stand behind the
user with your arms under his or her arms or stand next to the
user.
Ensure that the cups are fitted correctly around the user's chest.
step 3. Lift each of the user's legs in turn and slide the thigh support in
place, either high on the thigh near the groin or halfway along
the thigh.
step 4. If you fit the thigh supports relatively high, there will be less
weight on the cups. If you fit them lower down, there will be
more weight on the cups.
step 5. Adjust the length of the thigh support bands so that the user's
legs are lifted at the same time as his or her torso. The selected
position of the thigh support bands and thigh supports has a
large effect on the comfort of the user.
step 6. Before continuing, check to make sure that the cups are prop-
erly fitted around the user's chest. Avoid placing them too high
under the user's armpits or too far in front or behind the users
arms.
The user's arms must always remain outside of the body
support.

step 7. Press the "UP" button to lift the body support slightly, and then check the positions of the cups and
thigh supports once again. The user's legs and torso must be lifted at the same time. Ensure that the
user is comfortable. Continue lifting until the user is free of the floor.
step 8. Transport the user.
step 9. Lower the user far enough that the thigh supports can be removed easily.
step 10. Let the thigh supports hang gently against the user's legs and remove the cups.

step 1. The user's clothing can be lowered while the user is suspended
above the toilet.
step 2. Press gently against the user's knees while lowering the user to
position him or her correctly on the toilet.
step 3. Maintain light pressure on the cups so the user remains support-

sates for the user's lack of torso stability.
step 4. Constantly check the comfort of the user.

■The body support must be inspected at least once a year.

■The cup is worn and must be replaced.
• The cup is secured to the body support arm with a pop-rivet and Loctite adhesive (n° 638). In the unlikely
event that a cup must be replaced, you can drill out the rivet and twist the cup loose. A certain amount of
force will be necessary to break the glue bond.
• The tube must be cleaned and prepared for the replacement cup. There are two types of cup (left and right),
so be sure to order the right type. Apply the Loctite adhesive, fit the new cup, and secure it with a pop-
rivet.
• The cups must be attached to the body support arms at the correct angle. To check this angle, press the
arms of the body support together so that the bottom edges of the cups touch, with the outer corners of the
cups forming an angle of 75° to the horizontal.

■de gebruiker veilig en comfortabel gepositioneerd is zodat geen enkel lichaamsdeel ongemak ondervindt
■de gebruiker getest werd op zijn/haar geschiktheid
■de tilbeugel veilig in de haken vastzit
■de beensteunen veilig aan de tilbeugel vasthangen
■de tilbeugel in een rechte hoek boven de gebruiker is neergelaten
■de “handen” (cups) correct op de thorax zijn aangebracht
■de armen van de gebruiker buiten de tilbeugel worden gehouden
■de veiligheidsband gebruikt wordt wanneer de gebruiker op de voeten steunt of (spastische) bewegingen

In geval van lage spIertonus zal de tIlbeugel zIjn greep verlIezen en de gebruIker zal
erdoor glIjden, zelfs wanneer de veIlIgheIdsband of de spIerdystrofIebeensteunen worden
gebruIkt. doe daarom altIjd een test om de geschIktheId van de gebruIker voor de tIl-
beugel na te gaan.
pas de lengte van de beensteunen aan zodat de benen van de gebruIker gelIjktIjdIg met zIjn/
haar romp worden getIld.
bIj gebruIk van de tIlbeugel zonder gebruIk van beesteunen (zIe 6.7 & 6.8):
• de gebruIker moet met zIjn/haar voeten op de grond blIjven steunen.
• de gebruIker moet een deel van zIjn/haar eIgen lIchaamsgewIcht kunnen dragen.
• wanneer de gebruIker met zIjn/haar voeten op de grond of op enIg ander oppervlak
steunt, wordt er mInder gewIcht door de “handen” gedragen, waardoor de greep op
de romp ook vermIndert. hIerdoor kan de gebruIker uIt de “handen” glIjden. gebruIk
daarom steeds de specIale veIlIgheIdsband (zIe 3.2 accessoIres).
IndIen er enIge veranderIng zou optreden In de fysIeke of mentale toestand van de gebruI-

De zit-beensteunen geven betere steun door hun omsluitende vorm. Door
deze omsluiting bevindt de gebruiker zich meer in een zithouding dan bij
gewone beensteunen. Het glijden wordt verminderd.

Spierdystrofie-beensteunen worden gebruikt om te voorkomen dat mensen met lage spiertonus uit de tilbeugel
zouden glijden. Vaak gebruikt voor spierdystrofie-patiënten. Deze beensteunen kunnen ook gebruikt worden
voor gebruikers met amputaties.
■Om de velcroband over de beensteunen te schuiven, plaatst u de beens-
teunen eerst in de correcte positie: met het langere uiteinde voorwaarts
gericht.
■Schuif de velcroband over de beensteun zodat het langere stuk velcro
naar beneden is gericht en de metalen gesp aan de binnenkant van de
bovenbenen hangt.
■Bevestig de velcroband aan de beensteunen door het smalle strookje lint
over en onder de beensteun te trekken en door het vervolgens vast te
maken op het velcromateriaal aan de onderkant van de velcroband.
■De beensteunen moeten hoog onder de dij worden geplaatst met het
lange uiteinde naar de knieholte gericht. De beensteunen mogen zowel
vanaf de buitenkant als vanaf de binnenkant van de benen worden
aangebracht.
■Trek de band doorheen de metalen gesp en sluit hem stevig rond de dij
boven de knie.
