Preparing the Size 2 and 3 Rifton Standers for a Prone Transfer
In this video, Michelle demonstrates how to prepare Size 2 & 3 Rifton Standers for a prone transfer and the critical straps necessary for patient safety.
Transcript
When transferring to the prone position, start by measuring the patient and adjusting the stander legs accordingly. Measure the patient from hip to knee. Adjust thigh length. Measure the patient from knee to heel. Adjust the lower leg length.
Adjust hip flexion, knee flexion, and hip depth as appropriate. In the prone position, the critical straps include the pelvic harness, and the center strap must be attached for safety, the trunk strap, and the sandal straps.
Ankles can be adjusted for plantar flexion and dorsiflexion, inversion and eversion, and foot depth. Trunk height can be adjusted. When the patient is secure, adjust the stander to the desired position.
