Hazards Present:
Potential for musculoskeletal injuries
Sudden weight shift, Awkward positions,
Signs & Symptoms include:
Pain, tingling, numbness, tightness, swelling, and
discomfort.
Personal Protective Equipment
or Devices may be Required:
Assist rail
Bed slider

specific sling.
Additional Training Requirements:
Training program includes the following:
-Read and understand the owner’s manual
-Initial orientation by Occupational Therapist
-In-servicing as required
Supportive Information:
Client may be unable to weight bear or risk factors are present which threaten the safety of a manual transfer or use of a sit-stand lift. Two or
more Caregivers needed who ensure lift is in working order, battery charged & aware of operation of emergency buttons/controls.
Apply the Sling:
The sling is positioned under the Client in bed by:
Caregivers roll Client onto her side while one Caregiver rolls sling halfway &
places it under Client (tag facing out) so that bottom of sling is level with Client’s tail
bone & sling is providing support to thighs & shoulders.
Roll Client in opposite direction. The rolled up sling is pulled through &
straightened out.
The sling is positioned under the Client in the chair by:
Removing or swinging away armrests if required.
A Caregiver leans Client forward by standing beside the Client in the power
position placing one hand across the Client’s upper back & the other in front of her
shoulder. Other Caregiver slides sling (tag facing out) down the back of chair so
bottom of sling is level with Client’s tail bone.
The leg straps are folded. While crouching or kneeling, one Caregiver lifts Client’s leg
slightly while the other passes leg strap underneath. Repeat process for other leg.
Position Lift & Attach Sling:
Carry bar is positioned directly over Client. Lower carry bar to ~4-5 inches above
Client. Choose loops based on Client’s size then attach to carry bar. Ensure loops
are securely attached according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Client is Lifted:
Use remote to raise Client just high enough to clear surface. Prior to continuing
ensure sling is free of wrinkles & positioned correctly.
Lift Moved to Destination:
While being aware of obstructions (lights, assist rails, trapeze bars, etc.) move Client
along track by pushing carrying bar to the position over receiving equipment.
Disengage Client from Lift:
Using remote lower Client to receiving equipment until there is enough slack in straps
to remove without difficulty. The chair may tip slightly backwards while lowering;
however this will correct when Client comes close to the seat. Remove loops. Sling
is removed in the opposite way as indicated in the “Apply the Sling” section. Ensure
pelvis is positioned to back of wheelchair.
Comfort & Positioning:
Ensure Client is comfortable & positioned properly. Thank the Client for her efforts.
