14. Place the client's hand on the handles of the lift arm,
thumbs over the top of the handles. Alternatively,
let the client push off from the armrests of the
wheelchair. For clients with reduced muscle function
in the arms, place the arm/s in ThoraxSling armrest.
15. Consider different patterns or ways of raising the
client:
a. Suitable for a shorter and more active client:
Short setting of the lift arm results in a more
forward leaning position that requires more muscle
strength in the legs.
b. Suitable for a taller client or weaker client:
Long setting of the lift arm is more suited for a
weaker patient who needs training.
16. Instruct the client about the Standing Activity – Not
Lifting.
17. Caregiver positioning: The caregiver should stand
on the side of the lift and press the UP button on the
hand control. Watch the foot placement of the client
and ensure that the ThoraxSling does not slip and the
feet position don't change, ensuring as best a stand
as possible.
18. Raise the client to a position where he/she can stand
upright. It is important to note that some clients might
not want to stand upright for fear of falling forward.
19. Depending on client's stability, have the client adjust
their hand positions to the frame of the MiniLift if
needed.
20. Unlock the wheels of the MiniLift.
21. When transferring the patient, close the leg-spreading
of the MiniLift and move the MiniLift so that the
patient faces forward.
22. Perform desired activity: e.g. transfer, standing
training, toileting.
23. Once client is in the desired standing position, move
the MiniLift to the intended transfer position.
24. Lock the wheelchair or chair/Bed, if the client is to be
lowered there, if needed.
Helpful hint:
Use a longer loop alternative for short users and for users that cannot be fully raised.
Use a shorter loop alternative for taller users, and pull the lift arm out to allow the user to rise to a standing position.

25. Positions the client's hands on the lift arm's handles.
26. The caregiver's position should, if possible, be
standing to the side of the MiniLift. Press the DOWN
button on the hand control to lower the client.
27. Position wheelchair, other chair, or bed in position to
enable best final sitting position.
28. Keep on lowering the lift arm and ensure that the
client ends up well positioned in the sitting position
(e.g. in a wheelchair).
29. Let the client remove their hands from the MiniLift,
extend the lift arm and detach the ThoraxSling
completely from the MiniLift.
30. Unlock the MiniLift wheels, if required, and carefully
remove the client's feet from the MiniLift's footplate.
31. Move the MiniLift away from the client.
