Setzen

English translation: Positioning

Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / hospital report
German term or phrase: Setzen
"2007 lag neben der spastischen Hemiparese rechts ein ausgeprägtes hirnorganisches Psychosyndrom mit stark gestörter Affektsteuerung, häufigen Erregungszuständen und stark eingeschränkter Aufmerksamkeits-/Konzentrationsfähigkeit vor. Er konnte damals selbständig aus der Rückenlage auf die linke Seiten rollen, Rollstuhlfahren war selbständig nicht möglich. *Gehen war nur mit viel Hilfe und Setzen des re. Beines ca. 10 m möglich.*"

I assume that the Setzen here refers to the right leg? Were those helping him to walk 'setting' his right leg down to feign walking?

TIA for your help.
