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
ReTurn is ideal for testing a user's
standing function in cases where
there is uncertainty as to whether
the user is able to rise from a seated
to a standing
position.
Training standing function
ReTurn can be used to train the
user's standing, sitting and
sit-to-stand function. To measure
improvement, use a stopwatch or
clock with a second hand to time
the user.
Transfers
Bed to wheelchair
Place the wheelchair at some distance from the bed to allow enough working space. Lock the wheelchair wheels. Place the
user's feet on the base plate. The user 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 user sits down.
4
The feet are placed one on either side, see foot markings on base plate.
The user's weight must be centred on the product's support surface (all
weight between the wheels); i.e., the user must be in a standing position.
The user'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.
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 user slides forward in the wheelchair, the ReTurn
can be used to help the user to slide farther back in
the chair.
Remove/raise the wheelchair foot plates, and then run
the ReTurn in towards the wheelchair. The user places
his/her feet on the foot plate, grasps the raising ladder,
leans forward, and then lifts from the seat. The care-
giver provides counter pressure. Slide the user farther
back in the chair when he/she has lifted slightly from
the seat.
