After all these preparations it is time to start with the introduction to the use of culla-chair.
No pre-regulations made!
It is important to get the patient to know the aid and its functions. Normally patients are not afraid
of using it; very often they react with enthusiasm and pleasure. Persons who tend to have vehement
and uncontrollable movements should never be left unattended for safety reasons.
For „anxious" people, who are afraid of using culla-balance, the following procedure is advisable:
when the patient is trying culla-chair for the fi rst time he should not be left alone, but should be
accompanied by qualifi ed personnel or the therapist and a family member. They place themselves
in front, next to or behind the patient, they convince the patient to sit down carefully and then move
culla-balance slowly and with caution.
These cautionary measures give the patient a great sense of security, especially if at the same time
he gets an explanation of what is happening. Initially it is necessary to try to reach a movement by
pushing at constant speed. Limited distances, whether for "daring" or for "anxious" patients, are
advisable, as they produce a useful effect of orientation and progress
LATERAL TRANSFER
culla-chair has a removable height-adjustable headrest that allows a subjective setting of the de-
vice and functions as a backrest extension. The shoulder section is larger to give more freedom. The
footrest has an ergonomic design which supports the calves. The comfortable front-side entrance
facilitates the transfer. The pleasant concave shape adapts to the body offering support, security,
warmth, and replicates the embryonic position.
The removable armrest allows easy and safe lateral patient transfer without help of lifters, thus
avoiding physical discomforts for the attendant.
ASSEMBLY
culla-chair functions in a very easy and secure way: even though a good introduction by the dea-
ler/therapist is necessary. There are instructions to be considered for the optimal use of this device.
Start-up:
the conical
reduction cushion in the
therapy chair to reduce
height and depth.
fi g. D: Place the side support
left or/and right in
the therapy chair to
support the pelvis and
to reduce superfl uous
space at the sides.
