Practical handling
Positioning
When moving a user from bed to chair or other seat, position
the wheelchair at an angle of 40˚ from the bed. Distance
between two supporting surfaces must not exceed 25 cm
(Illustration 1). The black surfaces under the Butterfly Board
must be supported.
Use
To use with glide wings
Fitting the glide wings:
If using glide wings, position these over the Butterfly Board so
that they are flush with the cutout on the glide board. Push
the Velcro tapes to the back (and feed through the handle).
The tape is flush with both cutouts. Turn the Butterfly Board and
fasten the Velcro tape.
The user leans away from the direction of movement and
either the carer or the user him/herself pushes a small part of
the glide wing under the user's buttock/thigh (Illustration 4).
The user now leans in the direction of movement. Pushing
him/herself away from the mattress, the user now glides slowly
over to the wheelchair (Illustration 5 + 6 + 7). Depending on how
self-supportive the user is, the carer can help the user either by
supporting the upper body with SupportBelt or completing the
move using a Sling.
Tips
If an angle is created (e.g. if the bed is slightly higher than the
wheelchair), the user will slide more easily from one to the other.
To prevent strain on the knees in connection with the above, it
may be beneficial to use a PediTurn turnplate and SupportBelt,
Position the glide board so that the cutout rests firmly against
the wheelchair wheel. The other side must be positioned on
e.g. the bed next to the user's thigh (Illustration 4).
Remember to apply brakes to lock wheelchair and bed
(Illustration 2 + 3).
To use without glide wings:
The user can slide slowly or "shuffle" over to the wheelchair
by pushing him/herself away from the mattress
(Illustration 5 + 6 + 7).
Depending on how self-supportive the user is, the carer can help
the user either by supporting the upper body with SupportBelt
or using a Sling, MultiGlide, towel or similar to complete
the manual handling.
so that the user does not twist at the knee and the carer has
a good grip on the user.
To remove Butterfly, the user moves his/her weight from the
glide board, lifts and then pulls it free.
