Transferring & Standing
Transferring
•
For proper transfer techniques, please seek professional advice from your therapist or physician.
•
The kneepad does not lock in the upright position when transferring, do not grab the
kneepad for support.
•
Always lock the wheel locks on your wheelchair and the casters on the EasyStand Evolv before
transferring.
•
If you do not need assistance in transferring, position your wheelchair next to the EasyStand
Evolv. Flip the armrest and knee support away to allow for increased transfer space. Make sure
that the knee support is flipped up to allow you to position your feet. Complete your transfer
and position your feet in the footplates. Secure the foot straps and reposition the knee and side
supports.
•
If required, a patient lift can be used for transferring. There are a variety of access points to
accomplish the assisted transfer.
•
When transferring out of the EasyStand, pump the seat up so that it is equal to or higher than
the seat you are transferring back in to.
Standing
• Please consult with your physician or therapist before starting a standing program.
• Once transferred into the EasyStand, position your feet and the knee support and secure any
straps and side supports. Push the pump handle forward with 15-25 strokes. The seat will
slowly rise into the standing position. Remember that you can stop the seat anywhere between
the sitting and standing position.
Caution: If the back is adjusted outside of +/- 10 degrees from vertical, it is possible for
the back angle adjustment knob to come into contact with the lower back tube, causing
damage to the unit.
• To return to the seated position, move and hold the pump handle toward the rear until you have
reached your desired position. The seat will slowly lower until you release the handle. (If you
have difficulty getting the seat to lower, you may not be applying the proper pressure to
the handle.)
• If the unit is in the standing position and unoccupied, apply moderate pressure to the seat of
the unit while holding the pump handle back. Do not use excessive force.
Caution: When lowering the unit from standing to sitting, keep all hands and feet clear
of the mechanism beneath the seat.
