Figure 11

page 12 LORI Stander edition 2
Foot platforms
The foot platforms used in the stander are fully adjustable in three planes. The tilt angle of the platform is also adjustable. In
order to ensure the most precise adjustment to the patient's needs, each platform is adjusted separately.
CAUTION! After each adjustment of the foot platform, make sure that all adjustment
screws are securely tightened. Unscrewed elements may cause the adjustable elements
to shift automatically, which may result in injury to the patient.
7.8.1. Adjustment of height and tilt of foot platforms - Figure 12
The foot platforms used in the stander enable full adjustment of the patient's foot position. To adjust the height and angle of
the foot platform, loosen the screws (2). Then move the platform support (1) along the guide of the stander column. Once the
desired position is reached, lock the platform position by tightening the screws (2).
Figure 12
7.8.2. Adjusting the spacing and inclination of the foot platforms
The horizontal position of the foot platform and its tilt can be adjusted after loosening the screws (2). The adjustment allows
the foot platform to be moved along the support (1). After completing the adjustment of the platform position, tighten the screws
(2). To adjust the right and left platform spacing equally, pay attention to the ruler (1). The indicator (3) must show the same values
on the ruler on the right and left.

Vertical position –Figure 16
The patient should always be placed in vertical position with the base wheel brakes locked. The brakes prevent
accidental shifting of the device, which could cause uncontrolled repositioning and injury to the patient. The change
of position (verticalisation) is supported by the gas spring force. When changing position, it is necessary to fully control
and limit the automatic movement of the device by holding the device by hip or chest support.
To change the patient's verticalisation angle, press the release pedal (1) with your leg to release the spring and
adjust the position. When performing the adjustment, pay particular attention to the area between the column, base
and footrest supports. No objects should be located there, as they may block the movement of the device, resulting
in damage to the device or trapping and injuring the patient or the device operator. To lock the adjustment, release
the pedal (1), which will lock the gas spring and immobilize it in position.
CAUTION! When adjusting the verticalisation angle, special attention should be paid to
the possibility of limbs being trapped by moving parts.
CAUTION! After each adjustment of the verticalisation angle, make sure that the gas
spring is locked and that the hip and chest support position does not shift automatically.
CAUTION! When placing the patient in a vertical position, the device's wheel brakes
should be locked. Uncontrolled movement of the device may cause injury or trauma to
the patient.
