Liko LiftPants 92 Manual

Product Description
This instruction guide is valid for Liko LiftPants and
TeddyPants, but in the following text we will only use
the name Liko LiftPants.
Liko LiftPants facilitate safe and secure standing-
and gait training for patients with poor balance and
leg function, giving them the condence to take new
steps. LiftPants enable freedom of movement, while
relieving some of the burden of body weight. They
lift safely, allowing the patient to move on his/her
own without the risk of falling. During training, the
lift is ready to take all the weight, so the patient and
caregiver can devote all their attention to training
without having to worry about the consequences of a
wrong step.
LiftPants take most of the weight in the crotch, which
may be appropriate for patients who are sensitive to
pressure around the upper body or under the arms.
A padded crotch relieves the pressure.
Liko LiftPants in size XS is made of a Teddy bear
patterned polyester fabric and this is why this sling is
called TeddyPants. LiftPants in other sizes are made
of net polyester.
Several sizes
LiftPants are available in a range of sizes to t
different heights and body measurements.
Choosing the right lift
LiftPants can be used with Liko’s overhead and
mobile lifts.
With a overhead lift, the patient can move freely
within the entire lifting area, using a Likorall, Multirall
or Liko MasterLift. LiftPants can also be used with
Liko’s mobile lifts; ideally with Golvo, Uno or Viking.
During training in LiftPants, it may be an advantage
for some patients if some of the weight is relieved by
the arms, for example via the lift’s armrests (Golvo,
Viking) or with a walking support (walker, canes).
Alternatives
As an alternative to Liko LiftPants, we recommend
Liko MasterVest, Mod. 60 or 64.
“Caution!” triangles are used to warn of situations that demand extra care and attention.
In this document, the person being lifted is referred to as the “patient” and the person helping them is referred to
as the “caregiver”.
Before using lifts and lifting accessories, read the instructions for both the sling and the lift that will
be used. Instruction guides can be downloaded, free of charge

Liko Lift Pants
The starting position for using LiftPants is
the sitting position. The patient leans to
one side to enable the caregiver to posi-
tion LiftPants directly under the seat.
Place LiftPants as far as possible under
the patient, with the marking label face-
down and towards the back of the seat.
Pull the front section of LiftPants up
between the legs, so that the straps
are accessible from the front. Pass the
rear suspension straps through the
appropriate loops on the loop straps
(see page 3).
Hook the rear and front suspen-
sion straps to the sling bar.
The outermost loops are the most
commonly used.
Before the patient is raised from the sitting position:
Ensure that the patient’s feet are placed rmly on the oor
and back as close to their center of gravity as possible, so
that they may bear weight during the raising procedure.
Raise the lift slightly, so that tension is applied to the straps
without the patient’s seat rising from the underlying surface,
while ensuring that strap tension on the upper body is as
comfortable as possible for the patient.
During lifting: Pull the lift forward in the direction of
the raising motion to enable correct and optimal weight
transfer until the patient is standing fully upright and is
balanced. Lift only high enough to enable the patient to
be raised and still maintain sufcient contact with the
oor.
Before lifting, remember the following!
• The need for one or more caregivers must be determined
from case to case.
• Plan the lift carefully to ensure that it is performed as
safely and conveniently as possible.
• Before lifting, check that the lifting accessory hangs
vertically and can move freely.
• Although Liko’s sling bars are equipped with latches,
particular care must be taken. Before the patient is
lifted from the underlying surface, but after the straps
have been fully extended, make sure the straps are
properly hooked to the sling bar.
• Never lift a patient higher above the underlying
surface than what his/her condition and capabilities
permit.
• Never leave a patient unattended during a lifting
situation.
• Make sure the wheels on the wheelchair, bed, gurney,
etc. are locked during the lifting/transfer operation.
• Always work ergonomically.

Adjusting Loop Straps
The straps that support the upper body should neither be too loose nor too tight. Comfortable tension is the best.
For a slender patient, suspension straps can be looped
through an inner loop.
For a heavier patient, suspension straps can be looped
through an outer loop.
Accessories
Support Springs
Springs are available as an accessory in order to enable a gentler, springy motion
during gait training. They stimulate the natural pattern of movement and allow the
patient to nd the right walking technique.
Liko’s Springs for patient weights up to 70 kg (154 lbs.) are available in two lengths:
• Long 28 cm (11 inch.), Prod. No. 3156511 and
• Short 22 cm (8.7 inch.), Prod. No. 3156512
Short springs are recommended in cases where the lifting height does not permit the
use of long springs.
For patient weights up to 100 kg (220 lbs.):
• Short 22 cm (8.7 inch.), Prod. No. 31565134
Padded cases
Padded cases are available as an accessory to help relieve pressure on the front
suspension straps.
Padded cases are equipped with a velcro strip along one side for easy application.
Loop clips
This practical accessory is used to mark the loops that have been tried out for a
certain person.
It makes it easier for the caregivers to choose the right loop to attach to the sling bar.

Overview, Liko Lift Pants, Mod. 92
¹ Indicated patient weights/heights are only guidelines. Deviations do occur.
² For retained maximum load, lift/accessories intended for the same load or more are required.
Choose the right size
Lift Pants should reach above waist level, but not so high that pressure is applied under the arms.
A heavy person may require a larger size than a slender person, even though both are the same height.

Important!
Lifting and transferring a patient always involves a degree
of risk. Study the instruction guides for both lift systems
and accessories carefully. A complete understanding of
the contents of instruction guides is essential. Only trained
personnel should use the equipment.
Make certain that the lift accessories are appropriate
for the lift you are using and for the lifting situation.
Exercise caution and care when using lift equipment and
accessories.
As a caregiver, you are responsible for the patient’s safety.
You must be well informed of the patient’s condition and
ability to manage the lifting situation.
Inspect the sling regularly, especially after laundering.
Check carefully for wear and damage to seams, fabric,
straps and loop straps. Never use damaged accessories!
When in doubt, contact the manufacturer or supplier.
