5. Lifting With Your Oxford Journey

The Oxford Journey has an adjustable cow horn. This allows the carer to position the cow horn in
a comfortable position to suit the patient or environment. The cow horn has 3 positions. Position
1 is more suitable for a large/taller patient, position 2 is more suitable for a medium/average size
patient and position 3 is more suitable for a shorter/pediatric patient or when standing a patient
from a low chair. (Please note, these are guidelines only, it may be necessary to adjust according
to patient comfort). To adjust the cow horn, simply pull the trigger backwards towards the rear
of the lift whilst holding the cow horn. Then select the desired position as indicated by the
positioning decal and release trigger to lock. The cow horn has 3 alternative positions for lifting
and a further one for the storage/fold position.
Cow Horn Lift Positions
Position 1
Lifting from a sitting position
Select the most suitable cow horn position to suit the patient or environment. Once complete,
position the Standaid so that the patient's feet fit in the foot tray and the knees rest against the
kneepad. The optimal position for the kneepad is just below the patella. Adjust the kneepad
accordingly and fit the safety belt if required. If not required, the safety belt can be detached and
stored away.
Attach the loops of the sling to the grey hooks at the end of the Oxford Journey handgrips. The
patient's hands should be placed on the handgrips (see Fig A or C). Prior to lifting make a visual
check to ensure the loops of the sling are secure and in place. Then, push the UP button on
hand control to raise the patient to the standing position (see Fig B or D).
