Transferring into the Bantam
Transferring a child into the EasyStand Bantam is easy and often just requires one caregiver. Even kids with more involved disabilities can use the EasyStand Bantam because it allows the transfer to start from three different positions. It is always a good idea to review the transfer strategy with the child before transferring, and talk them thru the steps as they are happening. This will help reduce anxiety for the child as they are transferred.
Lateral seat-to-seat transfer:
Like other EasyStand standers, the Bantam allows for an easy seat-to-seat transfer, which is ideal for kids with good upper body control.
Supine flat-to-load transfer:
By adding the supine option to the Bantam, children who are more involved can use the stander. A flat-to-load transfer is ideal for kids with poor head and upper body control.
Supine Flat-to-load with flexion transfer:
When sit-to-stand and the supine option are combined in the Bantam, the stander accommodates for kids like no other stander can. A child can be transferred into the stander in a supine flat-to-load position with a flexion/bend in the hip or knee area. This flexibility makes it ideal for kids with hip and knee contractures or high tone.
To Stand:
Secure positioning straps, pads and optional Shadow Tray. Elevate child to the desired position by pushing the foot pedal to activate the manual gas spring lift (or optional manual hydraulic pump). Child can be positioned in an upright, partially upright or optional supine standing position.
