摘要

A bed platform assembly, which may be used, for example, within hospitals, nursing homes, senior care or specialized care facilities, or the like, comprises a plurality of different, individually controlled pivotally or otherwise movable sections so as to automatically assist a person to be moved from a supine position to sitting and standing positions such that the person can be assisted by hospital, nursing home, or other facility staff or personnel to participate in, for example, ambulatory or physical therapy sessions as may be needed or required such that the person can heal or recover from an accident, surgery, or the like. Conversely, the bed platform assembly can be operated in a reverse mode so as to automatically assist the person to be moved from standing and sitting positions back to the supine position.
