Locomotor Folding Rota Stand Compact

The Locomotor Folding Rota Stand Compact revolutionises sit to stand and pivot transfers.

The Locomotor Folding Rota Stand Compact combines all the benefits of the Rota stand and the Rota stand Solo in one product with the added value of being lightweight and foldable.

How to use the Locomotor Folding Rota Stand Compact

• The Rota Stand Compact has been designed to allow staff to transfer a patient/client from one seated position to another. Before a transfer can take place staff should satisfy themselves through an appropriate risk assessment that the patient/client is able to bear weight independently
• Before every use of the Rota Stand Compact ensure that both the handle and shin pad are secure and that the equipment is in no way damaged.
• Before using your Rota Stand Compact adjust the height of the handlebar and the shin pad to suit the patient/client as described above. 
• Ensure that the stabilising bar is fully retracted, the Rota Stand Compact can now be manoeuvred on its rear wheels and brought to a position in front of the patient/client
• Assist the patient/client to the front of their chair, ready to stand and place the patient/client’s feet on the non slip foot plate and gently wheel the Rota Stand Compact up to the patient/client on its central wheels. The Rota Stand Compact should end up with the patient/client’s feet on the non slip foot plate and shins firmly against the shin pad. 
• If the Rota Stand Compact is to be operated in SOLO mode with only one carer then the SOLO stabilising bar must now be fully extended 
• Encourage the patient/client, using the handlebar, to pull themselves into a standing position. The nurse/carer should position themselves(s) at the side of the patient/client with one hand on the handlebar bar ready to assist if required. Once the patient/client is in a standing position, ensure SOLO stabilising bar is fully retracted then gently rotate the Rota Stand Compact to the position required. Ensure the SOLO stabilising bar is fully extended before encouraging the patient/client to sit, reversing the above procedure.
• If the Rota Stand Compact is to be operated by 2 carers then extending the SOLO stabilising bar is optional.
• The Rota Stand Compact can also be used in the same way as a conventional Rotastand. In this way a carer would counterbalance the Rota Stand Compact from the front by holding the handle bar, and placing a foot on the brake as the patient/client brings themselves to a standing position. The SOLO stabilising bar is thus not needed to perform this transfer.
