GETTING INTO A CHAIR
1. Stand directly in front of the chair, facing away from it. The back of your
legs should be almost touching the seat of the chair. Do not try to sit until
you are balanced and standing still.
2. Move the rollator just away from you, so that you can bend slightly
forward as you sit down.
3. Engage the brakes.
i.e. brake handles pushed fully down with an
audible click (see fig 1)
4. Reach behind for the chair with both hands (preferred) or with one hand
and one hand on the rollator.
Caution
Do not tip the rollator by placing too much weight one side as
you start to sit.
5. Slowly start to lower yourself using your legs as much as you can.
6. If you drop into the chair, next time try leaning a little more forward as you
sit and bend your knees to lower yourself to the chair more gently.
