RoMedic MiniLift125 Mobile Sit-To-Stand Lift User Manual

RoMedic MiniLift125 Mobile Sit-To-Stand Lift User Manual

Overview

MiniLift125 is a mobile sit-to-stand lift which has been developed to, as gently as possible, assist the user when rising from a sitting to a standing position. When MiniLift125 is combined with the appropriate lifting accessories, the user gets support under the feet, for the front of the lower legs and behind the back, which provides for a safe and secure sit-to-stand procedure. The construction safely moves the user forwards and upwards in a natural movement pattern and, at the same time, the leg muscles and balance is exercised.
