Positioning

For manual handling, position the wheelchair at an angle

of 45˚ from the toilet/bathing chair. Distance between

supporting surfaces must not exceed 20 cm. The black

surfaces under the Dolphin must be supported.

Use

The client leans away from the direction of movement

and pushes him/herself onto the glide board. The client

now leans in the direction of movement. Pushing him/

herself away from the wheelchair, the client now glides

slowly over to the toilet/bathing chair (Illustration 2).

Depending on how self-supportive the client is, the carer

can help the client either by supporting the upper body

with a belt or completing manual handling using a Sling.

If the client is not wearing trousers, a piece of glide mate-

rial, Multiglide, Spilerglide or a towel must be used to

reduce friction. A piece of toilet paper can also be used.

After using the toilet, the client moves back to the wheel-

chair/bed. If a slope is established, the client will glide

more easily.

To prevent strain on the knees in connection with the

above, it may be beneficial to use a Pediturn turnplate

and a Support Belt so that the client does not twist at the

knee and the carer has a good grip on the client.

Use

The glide board is placed so that the cutout rests firmly

against the wheelchair wheel. The other side must be

positioned over the hole in the toilet/bathing chair (Illus-

tration 1).

Remember to apply brakes to lock wheelchair and bed.
