8.1 Adjusting the
Chest Pad
For prone standing you should firstly
measure the distance from the users feet
to just under their arms and for supine you
should measure to the top of the shoulder.
This is best done were practical in a lying
position on a mat. The height between the
top of the chest pad or top and the
sandals should be set to the equivalent
of this distance.
To position the pad loosen the knob at
the back of the spine (a) and slide the pad to
the required position and retighten securely.
Always support the pad before loosening
the knob to prevent the pad slipping
unexpectedly.
A
The height of the chest pad should not be
adjusted when the stander is in an upright
position and in use. Maximum adjustment
of the chest pad is 40 cm/16 inches as
displayed on the calibration strip at the
side of the spine.
Never adjust the height of the chest
pad when the user is in the product
as the user’s weight may collapse the
height of the frame causing injury to
the user or carer.
