ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for lifting and transferring a disabled person to and from a wheel chair includes an elongated sheet of material having handles at each end. This sheet of material is spread beneath the buttocks of a seated disabled person. An attendant reaches for the handles to either side of the person and straightens up to lift the person slightly from the place at which the person is seated. The attendant pivots on one foot to swing the person to a new location to be seated and bends over to allow the person to be seated in that location. The attendant either leaves the elongated sheet of material beneath the buttocks of the person for a later lifting and transferring or slides it from beneath the buttocks to leave the person freely seated in the new location. These steps may be taken to place a person in a wheel chair from a seated position or vise versa.
