Special requirements and conditions
• QuickMove is not intended for long transfers.
•QuickMove can only be used on flat floor.
To transfer with QuickMove, the patient must be able to:
• support weight while standing
• stand up and maintain balance (with support)
• grasp handles
• understand instructions
Testing standing function
QuickMove 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.
Farther back in the chair
If the patient slides forward in the wheelchair, the QuickMove can be used to help the patient to slide farther back in the
chair.
Remove/raise the wheelchair foot plates, and then run the QuickMove in towards the wheelchair. The patient places his/
her feet on the foot plate, grasps the raising ladder, leans forward, and then lifts from the seat. The caregiver provides
counter pressure. Slide the patient farther back in the chair when he/she has lifted slightly from the seat.
Using QuickMove

Place the QuickMove as close to the patient as possible and ask the patient to place his
or her feet on the footplate. Adjust both the height and depth of the leg supports, as well
as the seat depth, if necessary.
The patient can then grasp the soft handlebar and rise to a standing position.
When the patient has risen to a standing position, the caregiver lowers the seat behind
the patient.
The patient will then be able to sit during transfer. For optimal sitting comfort, the caregiver
can regulate the angle of the seat using the adjustment bar on the handlebar. This
function also facilitates standing, since the sitting height is higher and the patient's legs
are straighter.
Training standing function
QuickMove 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.
