Chassis and placement of feet
Lower-leg support
Ensure that the pins lock securely into place. The lower-leg
support can also be adjusted laterally.
Testing standing function
Training 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Farther back in the chair
If the patient slides forward in the wheelchair, the
ReTurn can be used to help the patient to slide farther
back in the chair.
Remove/raise the wheelchair foot plates, and then
run the ReTurn 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.
