If you have a tilt/recline chair, tilt it (don't recline it) a bit before being 
lowered into it.  It might help place you back farther in the chair.

Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.

  Subject: [QUAD-L] Hoyer Lift/Sling


  I have been using a Hoyer lift to get into my chair with a sling that has a 
cut out for the behind. I am having trouble getting back far enough in the 
chair. Any suggestions for getting back far enough into my chair with the sling 
and Hoyer lift? I have tried adjusting the chains/straps to the sling but it 
hasn't helped a great deal. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Dan T.
