Up
Once the patient is standing, rotate the swing-away seat pads into the up position, providing a
barrier-free space in behind.
When transferring to or from a wheeled/movable surface such as a commode, wheelchair
or bed, ensure the brakes (of that surface) are applied to avoid any inadvertent movement
and ensure a safer, more stable transfer.
With the patient continuing to grasp the crossbar, ask them to carefully lower themselves on to the
target surface, providing assistance as necessary.
