Movable stand to assist a person from a lying or sitting position to a sitting and/or standing position

摘要

A process for a caregiver using a movable stand to assist a reclined person to move from a reclined position to a sitting and/or standing position. The process includes the process of moving a movable stand which has a floor contacting base which supports a vertical pole. The stand is moved to a place adjacent the reclined person. The caregiver places at least one foot on the floor contacting base and grasps an upper portion of the generally vertical pole. The reclined person grasps an intermediate portion of the pole and pulls on the pole to assist the reclined person to sit or stand without placing a strain on the back of the caregiver.
