Practical handling
Place PediTurn on the oor. Position the user's feet on the
middle of PediTurn so that the user's legs are perpendicular
to the device.
Positioning
Use
When manually handling a user in the seated position, the user's
legs will now follow the user, thus avoiding strain on the user's
foot, knee and hip joints (Illustration 1).
It is often benecial to use SupportBelt, Sling or SmartMove
with PediTurn.
