I have a ceiling lift and at first it seemed to work fine. But for a long time now it doesn't seem to life me correctly. The hands don't grab my rib area, it slides up under my arm pits. So my butt hangs down and lots of weight is on my arm pits. I've tried adjusting the thigh pads up/down, slide them into the crotch area as far as I can. But the thigh pads just slide down to the back of my knees. I'm trying to use it to get me from bed to chair.
I sit the head of my bed up, lean forward and put a pillow behind my back, then fit the lift on. As the lift goes up, the thigh pads just slide down. I've tried putting sticky stuff on them, so they don't slide. I've tried adjusting them to every hight. It just doesn't squeeze me soon enough. Any other ideas? I thought of crossing the thigh pads, putting the right one across to the left leg. Greg
