Raise ReTurn sit-to-stand aid footplate
The footplate of a ReTurn sit-to-stand aid was too low for a child so a simple wooded platform was made to achieve the required height.
The Challenge
A child uses a ReTurn sit-to-stand aid but finds the foot plate too low for most transfers.
The solution
The wooden platform of the required height sits on the footplate, held in place by four magnets. It is secure yet easy to remove and to adjust its position. The height can be reduced as the child grows by simply cutting the legs.
