Prone Transfers Made Easy with the Rifton Stander (Sizes 2 & 3)

Transcript

Let’s look at how to achieve effortless prone transfers with the Rifton Stander, designed for comfort and adaptability in every step. Start by positioning the Stander to as close to upright as possible in preparation for a smooth sit-to-stand transfer. The Stander’s legs can be independently adjusted, ensuring accommodation for leg length discrepancies or any asymmetry. For an exact fit, measure the patient’s thigh and lower leg length, set these dimensions on the Stander accordingly. In the prone position, customize hip flexion, knee flexion and hip depth based on the user’s contractures or body shape. To adjust hip flexion in prone, release the red safety latch.

Trunk height can be adjusted for additional length if needed. Open up straps and swing away laterals, making space for the transfer. Fine tune ankle settings for plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, rotation, and foot depth to achieve the desired positioning. Bring the Stander in front of the user seated in an Activity Chair. The base shape allows for close access under a chair or wheelchair.

Secure the user’s feet in sandals. Perform a sit-to-stand transfer from the chair into the Stander. Secure critical straps and position laterals as needed. In the prone configuration, ensure the safety of the user with critical straps: the pelvic harness with the center strap always attached, trunk strap, and sandal straps. Adjust the tray height and angle for the desired activity. And there you have it: a seamless journey from chair to stander with the Rifton Stander.
