ABSTRACT:
A bed-rise support device is provided which comprises a series of spaced, parallel hand grips in a rounded frame attached to a vertical pole stabilized by a bed frame. The device further includes a curved, horizontal leveraging handle portion which extends from the pole. The device allows the user the ability to build momentum by pushing off the hand grip and allows the user to control momentum by regaining balance as well as readjusting posture by grabbing the curved handle. This function is necessary for the safe completion of rising from a bed. Also the user can push off the hand grip with one hand while simultaneously reaching for the curved handle during the rising movement which enables the user to steady him/herself as he/she climbs out of bed.
