Introducing the
ErgoRaiser™
The ability of patients/clients to tolerate a limb in an elevated position will vary widely and there is no one height, angle
of support or duration that will suit every individual, nor be appropriate for every procedure or practitioner. The
practitioner must assess the use and support options of the ErgoRaiser™ with each individual patient/client prior to
use - the following points should be considered within that assessment:
Appropriate positions for the patient/client - any limitations imposed by: restricted range of movement, medical
condition, discomfort, level of understanding or acceptance.
Tissue viability and patient/client's ability to register and communicate discomfort, pressure and tissue stressing.
Required procedure/intervention: which position(s) are appropriate for the patient/client and functional for the
practitioner. Could varying the position during the procedure benefit the individual and the practitioner?
Duration of procedure: patient/client's comfort and acceptance of the position for the required time.
Patient/client's ability to move their limb into position: any assistance they may require, how can that assistance be
most safely provided?
The patient/client's comfort, tissue viability and ongoing acceptance must be carefully monitored throughout the
treatment/care session.
Configurations and positions of support
Please note:
1. The following photographs. These present a sample range of ErgoRaiser™ configurations and positions; other
positions may also be appropriate dependent upon assessed need. When considering any position, the practitioner
must ensure that it is a safe, stable and appropriate option for both the patient/client and themselves.
2. Ergonomic comfort and relaxation for the limb. In general, the ergonomic sloping of the support
pad should be orientated to work with the angle of the limb as it comes to rest on the pad ie:
Limb angled downwards (photo a) - module positioned for pad to slope away from patient/client.
Limb angled upwards (photo b) - module positioned for pad to slope towards patient/client.
NB.
There may be exceptions to this and comfort evaluation and consultation with individual patient
/client should be undertaken. Always ensure that limb is centred on pad.
3. Management of fluids/tissue debris. In any configuration/position,
paper or plastic sheet may be positioned under the pad and draped
according to need.
High Configuration - support from the floor
Low and Extra Low Configurations - support from the floor
The following positions may be particularly appropriate when the patient/client's hip flexion or knee extension is
compromised, and/or are seated on a low chair.
To aid treatment or care, it may be helpful to vary the limb between 'support to the leg' and 'support to the foot'
positions during the procedure
to a patient/client
