ABSTRACT:
Devices and methods are described for assisting an infirm or disabled person to move about without assistance, and more particularly, a vertical support structure that can be installed temporarily without modification of ceiling, walls and floors. The device is secured by pivoting a toothed cam lever against a toothed track section. Non-slip material is fixed to the ends of the device to further stabilize it and to prevent marring of the surfaces against which the device is articulated. The devices and methods provide a simple and effective approach that does not rely on significant upper body strength and that is readily adapted to different user needs and environments.
