Chassis and placement of feet
Lower-leg support
Adjust the lower-leg support so that the upper edge of the
plate is about 3 cm/two fingers below the lower edge of
the kneecaps. Pull the two pins to loosen. Adjust to the
appropriate height.
Ensure that the pins lock securely into place. The lower-leg
support can also be adjusted laterally.
Testing standing function
Transfers
Bed to wheelchair
Place the wheelchair at some distance from the bed to allow enough working space. Lock the wheelchair wheels. Place the
patient's feet on the base plate. The patient grasps the raising ladder, leans forward, and then raises himself/herself.
Pull the ReTurn back somewhat, and then steer in towards the wheelchair.
Position the ReTurn close enough to enable good placement in the wheelchair. The caregiver applies counter pressure
before the patient sits down.
4
The feet are placed one on either side, see foot markings on base plate.
The patient's weight must be centred on the product's support surface (all
weight between the wheels); i.e., the patient must be in a standing position.
The patient's weight must not be outside of the support surface.
ReTurn is ideal for testing a
patient's standing function in
cases where there is uncertainty
as to whether the patient is able
to rise from a seated to a standing
position.
Brakes
There is a brake for each wheel. With your foot, press down
on the red marking on the brake plate. Press all the way
down.
To release the brake, press on the brake plate so that it
resumes its original position (green marking); ensure that
the wheels roll freely.
Training standing function
ReTurn can be used to train the
patient's standing, sitting and
sit-to-stand function. To measure
improvement, use a stopwatch or
clock with a second hand to time
the patient.
