5. Lifting With Your Oxford Journey

The Oxford Journey has an adjustable cow horn. This allows the carer to position the cow horn in
a comfortable position to suit the patient or environment. The cow horn has 3 positions. Position
1 is more suitable for a large/taller patient, position 2 is more suitable for a medium/average
size patient and position 3 is more suitable for a shorter/pediatric patient or when standing a
patient from a low chair. (Please note, these are guidelines only, it may be necessary to adjust
according to patient comfort). To adjust the cow horn, simply pull the trigger backwards towards
the rear of the lift whilst holding the cow horn. Then select the desired position as indicated by the
positioning decal and release trigger to lock. The cow horn has 3 alternative positions for lifting
and a further one for the storage/fold position.
Cow Horn Lift Positions
Position 1
Lifting from a sitting position
Select the most suitable cow horn position to suit the patient or environment. Once complete,
position the Standaid so that the patient's feet fit in the foot tray and the knees rest against the
kneepad (adjust knee pad accordingly and fit safety belt if required). Attach the loops of the sling
to the grey hooks at the end of the Oxford Journey handgrips. The patient's hands should be
placed on the handgrips (see Fig A or C). Prior to lifting make a visual check to ensure the loops
of the sling are secure and in place. Then, push the UP button on hand control to raise the patient
to the standing position (see Fig B or D).
