Good afternoon,
I am trying to create a simple list of contraindications for when not to use the steady (Eddy or Sara or similar!) Any others I have forgotten?
Patient needs to have trunk control and sitting balance,
be able to weight bear on at least one leg (or prosthesis)
Does not have a full leg plaster cast
Is able to understand and comply with instructions
Do you agree the patient needs to hold on with at least one hand?
Yes I agree that the patient needs to be able to hold on with at least one hand when using a Sara Steady I think have covered most of the the contra indication
Regards
Ann Newsom
