ABSTRACT:
A patient transfer stand is provided for assisting a wheelchair-bound person to transfer to and from a wheelchair to a variety of other points in a simple fashion. The transfer stand includes a rotating base. The base includes 2 substantially rectangular cut out portions that accommodates the wheels of the wheelchair. The base supports a pair of vertical support bars, in addition to an elevated handle structure that the wheelchair-bound person can hold onto during transfer. The elevated handle structures include elastic straps which may be used to assist the wheelchair-bound person from the wheelchair into the patient transfer stand. A patient, if required, may utilize the elastic straps attached to a belt or harness worn about the waist to assist them in assuming a standing position inside the transfer stand. Through the utilization of developed leverage, the patient may assume a raised or semi-standing position in the transfer stand without assistance. The patient may also use hand holds or handles while they are assuming the standing position. Once the patient has assumed the upright position on the transfer stand, the stand is rotated and the person may sit or recline on the desired object--such as the bed or commode. A means to secure the person inside the transfer stand during transfer may also be provided.
