Assembly of a bed or similar support and an apparatus for movement support for a person moving into or out of the bed/support. The apparatus has a base part and at least one swivelling arm that is pivotable relative to the base pad about an axis of rotation between at least two positions. The swivelling arm is driven by a motor. Positioning apparatus are provided for disposing the apparatus adjacent the bed/support so that-during use-at least a first pad of the swivelling arm can extend in a first position above a person located on the bed/support and in a second position the first part of the swivelling arm can extend along a person located beside the bed/support. Throughout the path between the first and the second position and vice versa, the swivelling arm can transmit a pulling force to the person in a direction towards the second or first position, as desired, to support his or her movements.
