ABSTRACT:
An articulated liter is disclosed for assisting disabled patients in getting in and out of hydrotherapeutic pools. The litter moves progressively from a chair-like position for the patient to sit on, to a horizontal position in which the patient is supported in a supine position, to a position in which the litter is cantilevered over the pool and finally into a substantially vertical position in which the free end of the litter and the patient are submerged within the pool. The progressive movements of the litter are reversed to remove the patient from the pool.
