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.

Devices and methods for performing elevated cardiopulmonary resuscitation are provided. A device includes a mechanism for changing the angle of elevation of a backrest of a patient support to elevate the head and thorax of a patient during elevated or head-up CPR. The device additionally includes, stored in a non-transitory memory device thereof, a program for performing elevated CPR that, when executed by a processor of the device acts to elevate the head and thorax of a patient according to a predetermined plan.

A bench assembly that stretches and develops the quadriceps femoris and/or hip flexors muscle groups of a client with the help of a therapist or trainer. The bench assembly has a basal subassembly with a front member that faces the therapist. Extending rearwardly from the front member is a first side member. A rear member extends laterally from the first side member. Each of the front and rear members have an upwardly oriented column that extends from a bottom rail of the associated member. The columns underlie a client support pad on which the client may lie recumbent and face upwardly with his/her legs positioned towards the front member before a trainer applies a stretching regimen to the legs and/or hips.

In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a patient repositioning sheet including an inflatable sheet having a lower layer and an upper layer that are urged apart with inflation of the inflatable sheet. The patient repositioning sheet further includes at least one inflatable support, such as an inflatable wedge. The inflatable wedge has a wedge surface that extends obliquely to the upper layer of the inflatable sheet with the inflatable wedge inflated.

This invention was developed in response to the need to move a patient from the supine (face up) position to the prone (face down) position and then back to the supine position after therapy is completed. There is the additional option to stop halfway in the lateral decubitus position for therapies which require the patient to be place on their side.

A motorized hospital bed assembly includes a bed frame that is positionable in an open position to define an opening in the bed frame. A motor is coupled to the bed frame and a drive unit is engaged to the motor. The drive unit urges the bed frame between the open position and the closed position. A toilet support is coupled to the bed frame and a portable toilet is positioned on the toilet support. The portable toilet is aligned with the opening when the bed frame is positioned in the open position to be employed by a patient while the patient is lying on the bed frame. A remote control is positionable on the bed frame and the remote control is in wireless communication with the drive unit to remotely control the drive unit.

An apparatus for reorienting a person includes a wrap having a first lateral portion and a second lateral portion, the first lateral portion and the second lateral portion being releasably securable to one another along an anterior region of the wrap between lateral sides of the person and along a posterior region of the wrap between the lateral sides of the person via a set of fasteners. Each of the lateral portions are dimensioned to extend around a corresponding one of the lateral sides of the person and having anterior and posterior edges that are dimensioned to extend at most partway across to an opposite one of the lateral sides of the person. The wrap is made from flexible materials and dimensioned to extend at least from below knees of the person to above the elbows of the person and snugly retain the person therein.

A method of rotating a subject includes arranging a lifting aid underneath the subject such that a midline of the subject is off center from a centerline of the lifting aid in a direction opposite of the rotation direction. The lifting aid includes a first loop extending in the rotation direction and a second loop extending in the opposite direction. The method further includes connecting the loops to a sling bar coupled to an overhead lift and directing the overhead lift to raise, where the subject rotates towards the direction of rotation due to the off center location of the subject. The method further includes repositioning the subject when the subject has rotated to a lateral recumbent position and directing the overhead lift to lower, thereby causing the subject to continue rotating.

A wheeled nursing and medical device includes a wheeled seat mechanism, a driving module, a bed mechanism and a linking mechanism. The wheeled seat mechanism includes an expandable base frame and front and rear wheel assemblies. The driving module is operable to drive expanding and retraction of the expandable base frame. The bed mechanism includes a main bed plate and a backrest plate pivotally connected with the main bed plate. The linking mechanism includes at least one inclined bracket pivotally connected with the expandable base frame and the backrest plate. The device is shiftable between a bed state and a wheelchair state to render traveling of the device in the wheelchair state convenient.

The adjustable therapist table comprises a first lifting module, a second lifting module, and a brace panel. The brace panel may be coupled to the second lifting module. The brace panel may be coupled to the first lifting module via a hinge. The adjustable therapist table may be adapted to assist an operator in moving a patient during a medical examination or medical procedure. A plurality of air chambers located on the top surface of the first lifting module and on the top surface of the second lifting module may be adapted to inflate and deflate to move the patient in various directions. The second lifting module and the brace panel may be pivoted with respect to the first lifting module via the hinge. As non-limiting examples, a supine patient may be rolled to the left, rolled to the right, and lifted to a sitting position.
