Trulife RM585 Red Dementia Wheeled Trough Frame

Intended use

These devices are designed to provide support, stability and mobilise people with walking difficulties and disabilities. This is a personal device and is manually operated by the user.

Adjusting the device

The device must be adjusted by your medical professional prior to use.

Height adjustment

To adjust the leg height:

1. Push both spring clips inwards and extend or retract the extension tube to your desired height.
2. Once adjusted to your appropriate height, release the spring clips and ensure the leg is locked in position.
3. Ensure all legs are locked in position before use.

Trough height adjustment

The single trough height can be adjusted with its own adjustment handle to provide a good posture for the user. The double trough height can only be adjusted using the wheel or leg adjustments. The trough handle is adjusted by turning the black handle below the trough and either pulling out the handle or pushing it in dependant on the user.

Trough adjustment

1. Undo the handgrip adjustment.
2. Adjust the handgrip so that it is comfortable with your arm in the trough.
3. Tighten the handgrip adjustment.
4. With your arm in the trough, using your free hand secure the hook and loop strap around your arm, so that it is secure and can slip in and out comfortably.

When using a non-wheeled frame all four legs must be set at the same height.
When using a wheeled frame, it is advisable to set the rear non wheeled legs one position higher, this is to offset the increased height of the wheel.

Safety in use

Walking (non-wheeled) – INDOOR OR LIGHT USE OUTDOORS
Lift the frame and place it one step ahead of you. Step towards the frame with the weakest leg first. Bring the second leg to meet the first leg. Repeat these actions to mobilise to desired place. Do not walk too far into the frame.

Walking (wheeled) – INDOOR ONLY

Lift the back legs of the frame and push the frame one step ahead of you. Place the rubber feet on the ground and step towards the frame with the weakest leg first. Bring the second leg to meet the first leg. Repeat these actions to mobilise to desired place. The frame will need to be repositioned to go around corners as the wheels are fixed. Do not walk too far into the frame.

Sitting

Manoeuvre yourself to a position where you can feel the chair/bed behind your legs. You should reach behind and feel for the chair handle or mattress whilst maintaining balance with the device in your other hand. The second hand should be placed on the chair handle or mattress (you may need to lean forward slightly) and in a slow and controlled manner, lower yourself into a seated position.

Standing

Place the device in front of your chair/bed so that it can be used once you are on your feet. Place both hands on the arms of the chair/mattress and lean forward whilst pushing on the chair handles to move into a standing position. Once standing the device can be used to provide stability before walking.
