Moving from sitting to standing

A very important part of mobilisation following an illness, procedure or extended bed rest is to transition from a sitting to a standing position. Improving this functional movement can be difficult for the patient and it requires excessive physical demand on staff when providing manual only assistance.

Using the Positioning lock, elastic lines and the Multi Support sling from Guldmann enables you to assist and support activation and training of this essential movement which improves patient independence.

The Positioning lock ensures that the ceiling hoist pulls the patient into the natural pattern of movement whilst the elastic line and the Multi Support sling provides active assistance with the sit to stand function.
