ABSTRACT:
A device to enable a bedridden patient to adjust their position in a bed without additional aid is herein disclosed. The device comprises two (2) “L”-shaped parts connected along a long axis. A first section is placed in between a mattress and footboard, while a second section is laid upon a top of the bed. The overall length would vary to suit individual users of all sizes. A locking handle permits quick adjustments to the length. A baseplate has a non-slip surface for safety. A foot support is contoured for comfort. In use, the device is placed upon the bed and the user pushes with their foot against the foot support which transfers the force down the shaft of the device to the foot board, permitting a patient to adjust their position in the bed. The device can be permanently mounted or be removable therefrom the bed frame.
