ADDITIONAL ERGONOMIC RECOMMENDATIONS
CERVICAL SUPPORT
A cervical support is optional on the Dyn-Ergo chair. It can be used to increase
comfort by allowing the head to rest on the back of the chair in a tilted position.
The cervical support should be placed at the base of the head and neck in
order to fill the space according to the user's comfort.
POSITIONING STRAP
The positioning strap is optional on the Dyn-Ergo chair. It is recommended to
use it in order to maintain a good pelvic posture while benefiting from chair’s
postural equipment. It is also recommended to stabilize the pelvis in order to
have effective propulsion with the hands and feet. The positioning strap must
be well-fitting, so that a hand with the palm open can pass between the strap
and the user's body. Never use positioning straps as a means of restraining
the user. Improper use can result in serious injury or even death.
GETTING UP
To get up from the Dyn-Ergo chair more easily (always do so in the presence
of another person who has received training):
•
Put the brakes on the 2 central wheels of the chair (performed by the user
or a caregiver).
•
Raise the tilt of the chair to a straighter position for transfer preparation
(performed by a caregiver).
•
Move the footrests to the sides of the chair if applicable (performed by
a caregiver).
•
Slide the buttocks to the center of the chair.
•
Place the feet under the seat.
•
Lean on the armrests with your hands.
•
Lean forward while looking straight ahead.
•
Get up by pushing on your feet and hands, then straighten up.
