ABSTRACT:
The invention is a vest formed from mesh material for assisting ambulatory patients move about. The vest is formed of a single piece of material with a hole in the center for the head and recesses that form arm holes when the material is folded over the body creating a front and back panel. The panels are connected under the arm holes with zippers or other material consistent with a zipper closure. The back panel contains a pair of straps attached at a diagonal to the shape of the back and intersect near the center point of the panel. A pair of handles of web or other strong material are vertically mounted proximate the center point to the straps, thereby allowing a high degree of control over the torso of the patient.
