UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
The Sit-to-Stand Trainer is shipped fully assembled on a 4’x4’ skid. Remove the protective
wrapping. The sling(s) and bariatric extender will be included inside this wrapping.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The NeuroGym®Sit-to-Stand Trainer uses a counterweight mechanism to provide a safe
and effective way to strengthen weight-bearing muscles and increase standing stability and
endurance. Unlike other tools that lift people to, or maintain them in, a standing position, The
Sit-to-Stand Trainer enables a patient to successfully initiate the motion of standing-up, even with
weakened or seemingly unsuccessful efforts. Through continued training and gradually reducing
the counterweight, a client can relearn the standing-up skill. Equipped with a weight-stack and
a locking pulley system, the counterweight can be easily applied to the Sit-to-Stand Trainer.
Because it is mounted on wheels, early steps can be attempted in all directions.
SPECIFICATIONS
- 28” x 36” x 74”

LIST OF PRECAUTIONS FOR THE SIT-TO-STAND TRAINER:
1. It is not advisable to use the Sit-to-Stand Trainer with individuals who have extreme full
body weakness (quadriparesis) unless supervised by a clinician.
2. Use special caution with individuals who have severe osteoporosis, especially if they have
not attempted to stand for a long period of time.
3. Use caution with individuals who have weak ankles. Extra support may be necessary at the
ankle joint to prevent injury.
4. Use caution with individuals who have exor or extensor tone in the upper extremity.
Closely supervise to ensure that the hands do not let go of the handle bar.
5. Use caution with individuals who have exor tone in the lower extremity (e.g. place your
foot behind the user’s heel). Closely supervise to ensure that the legs do not lift upwards
from the ground.
6. Ensure that the individual has the ability to sit down when fatigued, especially when
performing mobility exercises.
7. Lock the wheels of the Sit-to-Stand Trainer for all stationary movements and/or during any
standing attempt prior to performing mobility exercises.
8. Adjust the knee support pad height to a level that is at, or slightly below the knee joint.
9. Ensure that the knee support pad is set at a distance close enough to allow the individual
to grasp the handle bar.
10. Check frequently that the knees do not slip laterally off the knee support pad.
11.Ensure that the counterweight support strap is attached around and/or below the bulk of
the buttocks region to prevent the strap from slipping upwards.
12.Properly supervise the individual at all times that he/she is in the Sit-to-Stand Trainer.
13. Always provide a safe training environment. The oor should be at, even and free from debris.
