BURE RISE & GO

1. Standing up using the Bure Rise & Go
Because standing up or transporting patients always entails risks we recommend that two
people are always present to assist the user at such times.
1. Fit the harness as low as possible across the hips and bottom with the broad upper part
around the hips and the narrow lower part around the bottom. Attach the strap with the
Velcro fastener and tighten it using the steplessly adjustable safety belt. Note that the lower
part of the harness attached around the patient’s bottom can be opened as required, e.g.
for visits to the WC
2.
Place the user’s legs at a 90˚ angle with their feet on the floor or platform. Adjust the shin
supports to fit the user’s shins; remember to avoid pressure on the patellae and patellar
tendons. Refer to page 5 for shin support adjustment.
3. Thread both attachment belts through the walker’s frame and the green locking devices.
Make sure the belts are threaded completely through the locking devices. NB: Check
especially that the belts are undamaged. Check that belts are not worn or frayed and that
the holder and straps are NOT bent or crooked. If the holder and belts are crooked (pic
3c-red line) it is a sign that the product has been overloaded, in which case the frame must
be replaced before further use.
4. Connect the power rise harness and attachment belts (that are secured to the walker) and
tighten them using the loops; the belts must be taught on both sides. (see fig. 4a)
