OperationOnce the accessories are attached and adjusted approximately, the user can be placed inthe Pacer in either an anterior or posterior position.Anterior positioningWARNINGTo prevent tipping andresulting injury: Position prompts so that the user’scenter of gravity is centered betweenthe casters. Use adequate accessories to ensurethat user’s feet remain withinboundaries of the Pacer frame.Forward facing1. Apply the caster brakes to immobilizethe Pacer.2. Approximate the adjustments of: chest prompt arm prompts hip positioner or pelvic supportFigure 27a frame height (top bar of frame).3. Unfasten: Hip positioner or pelvic support ringsat rear of Pacer Buckles at the rear of the chestprompt Straps of arm prompts, thigh promptsand ankle prompts4. Place the user in the Pacer Fasten the rear buckles of thechest prompt.5. Pull the hip positioner or pelvic supportthrough the legs and: Connect the rings to the handholds. Or fasten buckles if preferred.Figure 27b shows normal positioning. Note thatthe chest prompt has no tilt and the slightlyforward-leaning angle of the user is achievedby locating the hip positioner / pelvic supportbehind the shoulders.continued on next page27
Continued from previous page.6. Secure the forearms with arm promptstraps.7. Fasten straps to: Secure the thigh prompt strapsaround the user’s legs. Secure the ankle prompt strapsaround the user’s ankle.8. Release the caster brakes.Forward-leaningFigure 28a shows how a more extremeforward-leaning angle is achieved. Notethe chest prompt tilt and the location of thehip positioner behind the shoulders. Thefront hip positioner straps are attached tothe chest prompt posts. (It is recommendedthat the front of the hip positioner isadjusted slightly higher than the backfor maximum comfort.) The arm promptclamps are attached to the front of thetop bar.1. To adjust the user's forward-leaningangle: Use the chest prompt tilt adjustment(see Figures 27a, 27b and 28a). Position the top of the chest promptaway from the armpits to avoidpressure and discomfort.2. Adjust hip positioner or pelvic support: Adjust height of handhold posts. Use straps to adjust hip positioner orpelvic support angle and to positionuser’s pelvis in the desired forwardleaning angle in relation to the chestprompt (see Figures 27a, 27b, 28a).28Figure 28a3. Adjust arm prompts or hand loops: Adjust the width, height and anglesof arm prompts (see pp 15–16) orhandloops (see p 13).4. Adjust thigh prompts: Adjust the height, angle, and straplength to guide the stride of the user(see Page 23). The thigh prompt is importantfor positioning the user’s thighscloser together or further apart. Italso prevents the user’s body fromtwisting in the Pacer.5. Adjust ankle prompts: Adjust straps and spring adjustersto guide the stride of the user (seeFigure 24d).6. Adjust the tray position and angle (seeFigure 25a).7. Release the caster brakes
Posterior positioningRear facingUsers can be positioned in the Pacerfacing the rear (open end) of the frame.This is called posterior positioning. It allowsadvanced users to move freely withoutobstructions below or in front of them.Users positioned posteriorly generallyrequire less support and fewer accessories(see Figure 29a). Arm prompts or handloops should beattached as close to main frame uprightsas possible (see Figure 29a). Refer to thewarnings on page 4 and 5 for importantsafety information. Chest prompt (if used) opens frontand back for easy transfers duringposterior positioning.Figure 29a1. Apply the caster brakes to immobilizethe Pacer.2. Remove accessories. Unfasten theclamps around the top bar (see Figures11a and 11b).3. Turn accessories to face open end ofPacer frame and reattach to the top bar(see Figure 29a).4. Reset swivel locks in opposite directionif needed (see Figure 10a).5. If any other prompts are requiredfollow anterior positioning instructionsin reverse (see Pages 27 and 28).6. Release caster brakes.For more details on accessories, functionand recommended uses, go to:www.rifton.com/pacer29
