straps and/or leg pieces re-
positioned.
5. In order to attain the best verti-
cal positioning, the leg pieces on
the back of the patient may need to
be re-positioned (slide inward).
During the lift the patient should
have access to parallel bars (or
similar device) which is used to
assist in lifting to an upright posi-
tion, as well as for support. Once
sufficient height is attained, the
patient can proceed with walking
exercises.
