4.9.2 Using the walking trainer
• The carer may walk in front of or beside the
walking trainer, instructing or supporting
the client.
• Raising or lowering the sling frame will
relieve the client depending on the phase
of walking training.
• Use the hand support to begin with in order
to give the client something to hold on to
and to use for pushing/steering.
• During the last phase of the walking training the
client may use the hand support only without the
support of the sling.
• The steering devices of the two front wheels
contribute to steering the walking trainer, e.g. when
persons with hemiplegia start walking training.
4.9.2 Placing in chair/wheelchair
To place a person in a chair/wheelchair, do the procedures on the opposite side in reverse order:
• Increase the width between the legs of the walking trainer and move it to the chair.
• Make sure that the client is positioned correctly above the chair and lower the hoist slowly.
• Check that the client is positioned correctly during the entire operation.
• When assisting a client in getting back into the chair, lower the client so that he/she just touches the chair.
• If the chair can be tilted a little backward it is easier to place the client correctly.
• If two assistants are present, one may press gently on the knees of the client.
