4.2 GETTING THE USER INTO NF-WALKER
The following section assumes that NF-Walker has been adjusted for the user by an aid consultant from
Made for Movement or another qualified person approved by Made for Movement. The user’s carers should
also have undergone the necessary training in using the product. The information below describes a number of
methods for getting the user into and out of NF-Walker.
4.2.1 SHOES
NF-Walker must only be used with shoes compatible with the Made for Movement shoe clips supplied by
Made for Movement. Check regularly to ensure that the shoes/sandals are a good fit. Ensure that you tighten
the laces/Velcro so that the shoes fit snugly. If you are in any doubt as to the appropriate type of shoe/size,
contact Made for Movement.
4.2.2 PREPARATORY STEPS
Remove the brace from the chassis and place on a mat or firm surface. Ensure all the buckles are undone
before placing the user in the brace.
4.2.3 GETTING THE USER INTO THE BRACE
The user can be
moved using a
hoist or lifted
into the brace
and positioned
as illustrated.
The user’s pelvis
should be placed

the bottom broad
strap
(the hip belt).
