FootStool, Instruction & Safety Manual
T08 9351 7500 E[email protected] Wwww.unicarehealth.com.au
Introduction
FootStool is used to raise the position of the knees and thereby enable safer, easier bed-to-wheelchair
transfer in a seated position. FootStool also provides good support under the feet during visits to the
toilet, or when repositioning farther back in a chair. FootStool is made of a material with closed cells,
which makes it easy to keep clean.
SystemRoMedic is a series of different models of transfer assistive devices. The choice of assistive
devices depends on the transfer situation and the patient’s functional capability and needs.
Functional Inspection
Check the condition and function of the assistive device regularly.
Always read the manual
Always read the manuals for all assistive devices used during a transfer. Keep the manual where it is
accessible to users of the product. Do not leave the patient unattended during a transfer situation.
Placement of FootStool
Place the FootStool under the patient’s feet when the patient is sitting on the toilet or in a wheelchair.
FootStool is recessed at the front to allow the caregiver to place a foot as close as possible to the stool.
The back also has a small recess to facilitate placement close to the toilet.
Using FootStool
FootStool complements other assistive devices such as EasyBelt/FlexiBelt, EasyGlide and SitWalk to
facilitate transfers between two locations or for repositioning, for example, farther back in a chair. Since
the knees are raised, the thighs are also lifted somewhat, which reduces friction and makes the transfer
easier.
