Fitting the Sling from a Lying Position
Carefully feed the leg sections under and up between the
patient’s legs, ensuring that the sling is positioned comfortably
and not twisted or creased under the thighs. Configure the
leg straps in the same manner as with the seated position
(step 3). Next, proceed to attach the sling to the spreader
bar in the same manner as with the seated position (steps
3 and 4).
NOTE:
The longer you attach the shoulder straps, the more
reclined the client will be.
Draw sheet roll the client onto the sling, ensuring that the top of the commode aperture is at the base of the spine.
