English
The feet are placed one on either side, see foot markings on base plate.
The user’s weight must be centred on the product’s support surface (all
weight between the wheels); i.e., the user must be in a standing position.
The user’s weight must not be outside of the support surface.
Chassis and placement of feet
Adjust the lower-leg support
so that the upper edge of
the plate is about 3 cm/two
fingers below the lower edge
of the kneecaps. Pull the two
pins to loosen. Adjust to the
appropriate height.
Lower-leg support Brakes
There is a brake for each wheel. With your foot, press
down on the red marking on the brake plate. Press all
the way down.
To release the brake, press on the brake plate so that
it resumes its original position (green marking); ensure
that the wheels roll freely.
Testing standing function
ReTurn is ideal for testing a user’s
standing function in cases where
there is uncertainty as to whether
the user is able to rise from a seated
to a standing
position.
Training standing function
ReTurn can be used to train the
user’s standing, sitting and
sit-to-stand function. To measure
improvement, use a stopwatch or
clock with a second hand to time
the user.
Farther back in the chair
If the user slides forward in the wheelchair, the ReTurn
can be used to help the user to slide farther back in
the chair.
Remove/raise the wheelchair foot plates, and then run
the ReTurn in towards the wheelchair. The user places
his/her feet on the foot plate, grasps the raising ladder,
leans forward, and then lifts from the seat. The care-
giver provides counter pressure. Slide the user farther
back in the chair when he/she has lifted slightly from
the seat.
Ensure that the pins lock securely into place. The lower-leg
support can also be adjusted laterally.
Transfers
Bed to wheelchair
Place the wheelchair at some distance from the bed to allow enough working space. Lock the wheelchair wheels. Place the
user’s feet on the base plate. The user grasps the raising ladder, leans forward, and then raises himself/herself.
Pull the ReTurn back somewhat, and then steer in towards the wheelchair.
Position the ReTurn close enough to enable good placement in the wheelchair. The caregiver applies counter pressure
before the user sits down.

Brake the wheels on the ReTurn. The user then leans
forward and grasps the handles on the ReTurn. The
caregivers then grasp the handles on the ReTurnBelt.
ReTurnBelt allows different gripping alternatives, and
helps and encourages the user to lean forward.
One caregiver helps the user to lean forward and
provides support during raising.
Using ReTurnBelt together with ReTurn7600
See manual for ReTurnBelt.
ReTurnBelt is used for raising from a seated to a standing position, and for support in the standing position in combination
with the use of ReTurn transfer platform. ReTurnBelt has a more rigid lower section for easy application and an elastic
upper section for a better and more comfortable fit. ReTurnBelt has several gripping alternatives and a locking strap for
extra support and safety in connection with the use of the ReTurn platform.
Do not secure the clasp on the ReTurnBelt before rising. When the user is
in a standing position facing the ReTurn, the strap can be placed around
one of the vertical handles.
Secure the clasp on the ReTurnBelt. A click is heard when the clasp is
secured.
Two caregivers with ReTurnBelt One caregiver with ReTurnBelt

when the clasp is secured.
Brake the wheels on ReTurn.
The caregiver encourages the user to lean forward while pro-
viding support during raising by grasping either a handle or
the strap.
The user leans forward and grasps the handles on ReTurn.
When it is necessary to attach ReTurnBelt to ReTurn7600
Now, transfer the user with ReTurn. Plan carefully to ensure that the
transfer is as short as possible.
To toilet/shower chair
For transfers to the toilet, space is allowed for the caregiver to assist the user with the pants. The
back also has a small recess that allows the user to get close to the toilet and achieve a good
seated position.
Brake the wheels on the ReTurn. Ensure that the user is standing in a secure position facing the
ReTurn, so that the locking strap is loosened. Undo the clasp and remove the strap from the
ReTurn. Fold it under the edge of the belt, so that it does not catch on anything. Help the user
into a seated position with the help of the ReTurnBelt.
