Testing standing function
ReTurn is ideal for testing a patient’s standing function in cases where there is uncer-
tainty as to whether the patient is able to rise from a seated to a standing position.
Training standing function
ReTurn can be used to train the patient’s standing, sitting and sit-to-stand function.
To measure improvement, use a stopwatch or clock with a second hand to time the
patient.
Transfers
Bed to wheelchair
Place the wheelchair at some distance from the bed to allow enough working space.
Lock the wheelchair wheels. Place the patient’s feet on the base plate. The patient
grasps the raising ladder, leans forward, and then raises himself/herself.
Pull the ReTurn back somewhat, and then steer in towards the wheelchair.
