Mobility and transfersQuestion 601 of 1700

Why should you NOT apply the brakes on the sit-to-stand lift while lowering the resident into the chair?

  1. The brakes would make the sling come loose
  2. The lift could squeeze the resident's legs
  3. The lift will tip forward onto the resident
  4. The wheelchair brakes would come unlocked
Show answer

Correct answer: The lift could squeeze the resident's legs

Locked lift brakes can press the resident's legs against the lift as the resident is lowered.
