Transferring For certain individuals, transferring can be a difficult task, especially at first. Like many things, transferring gets easier with practice. With assisted transfers, it is always a good idea to review the transfer strategy with the client before transferring, and talk them through the steps as they are happening. This will help reduce anxiety for the person being transferred.
Standing Contraindications Standing/weight bearing may not be an option for the following reasons: If the user has severe contractures or range of motion issues If the user has severe osteoporosis or brittle bone disease If the user has postural orthostatic hypotension If the user has dislocated joints ! Caution: Consumers considering a standing program should consult with a qualified physician and medical team to determine what indications or contraindications exist.
Maintenance Cleaning/Disinfecting • • • • • • • • • • Clean the EasyStand Glider with a mild, non-abrasive disinfectant or soap and water. Check the EasyStand at least weekly to ensure all nuts, bolts and adjustable parts are tightened securely, failure to do so may result in parts falling off which may cause a choking hazard for children. Do not use bleach or any other bleach-based cleaners on the EasyStand. Disinfecting wipes are safe to use on metal and non-porous surfaces.
Troubleshooting My EasyStand will not go into the full standing position: As of June 2011 the EasyStand (manual hydraulic pump only) is equipped with a safety feature to prevent over travel of the lifting/following arm mechanism in the event the back angle is improperly adjusted to exceed the recommended angle. The unit will not reach full standing unless the back angle is adjusted within the green range at the seated position. Refer to page 16 for proper instructions.
