ABSTRACT:
A system of apparatus for use with handicapped or disabled patients. The apparatus includes a mobile platform which removably mounts a patient support module which can be a chair or commode seat. Lift module means is attached to the mobile platform for lifting or lowering the patient from or to a bed or other structure. In certain embodiments a body harness is suspended by the lift module for supporting the patient upright so that the apparatus can be used as a therapeutic walking exerciser. In another embodiment, a body sling supported from the lift module provides support for the patient's arms for use as a therapeutic exerciser. The method of operation permits the apparatus, with the support module chair removed, to be moved to a position where the lift module is centered over the patient on a bed, automobile seat or other structure to facilitate lifting and transporting the patient. This method simplifies the transfer of a patient.
