Upsee User Manual p17
We recommend that to
maximise the lifespan of
your product, you store your
child’s Upsee harness at.
Folding causes creasing in
the support structure of the
lining material.
Redness on your child’s
skin may be visible and
is expected on weight
bearing points. If however
this redness persists,
please review the set-up of
the product to ensure it is
not too tight or too loose.
SECTION 9.4:
How to use your Upsee
programmes. The success of the Upsee
will come from the motivation of your
child to stand, as well as you providing
the right amount of adjustment and
support to enable your child to weight
bear and initiate movement as they are
able.
It may take some time for you and your
child to learn how to use the Upsee
and you should not expect your child
to move in the Upsee immediately
– they may only be able to support
themselves for a very short time at the
beginning.
When you rst use the Upsee, try just
standing with your child, for example
at a table, and let them use their hands
to play with toys, clean the table top,
play with siblings etc.
Your child should be able to bear
their own weight, even for very short
periods. If your child simply “hangs”,
they are not getting the most out of
their Upsee. Take your child out and try
again later – don’t be discouraged if
you have to repeat this for a while – it
can take a bit of getting used to.
If your child is able to bear their own
weight and stand in the Upsee, you
could try simply weight shifting by
using a side-to-side gentle swaying
motion.
When your child is able to bear their
own weight, you can encourage them
Before you start to use
the Upsee ensure all
buckles and press studs
are secured and check
Velcro strips for any sign
of damage, wear or tear.
If there are any signs
of damage do not use
the product and phone
customer services for
advice.
The Upsee is a fabulous addition
to therapy and can be used as a
motivational tool to complement
existing standing and walking
