A patient support system comprises a patient support apparatus for patients. The patient support apparatus comprises a base and a litter supported by the base via a lift system. The litter comprises a seat section and a foot section movable relative to the seat section. The lift system comprises lift members. The lift system moves the litter from a first configuration in which the seat and foot sections are generally horizontal relative to a floor surface to a second configuration where the foot section is below the seat section and between the lift members. The patient support apparatus also comprises a mattress assembly integrated with the foot section to move with the foot section between the first and second configurations.

A wheelchair is provided that includes a motor-driven laterally extendable platform that can be extended and retracted to assist a user in getting onto and off of the wheelchair. A motor drive system is provided that can be actuated by an actuator. The actuator can be, for example, a wired remote controller or a wireless remote controller. Full actuation can be accomplished by a single triggering motion of the actuator, or the actuator can be configured to require a constant holding of the actuator until a desired position of the platform is reached. Travel limits can be programmed into the motor drive system such that the drive system stops driving extension or retraction of the platform once a travel limit is reached. The wheelchair can also be converted into a recumbent position. Methods of transferring a user onto or off of the wheelchair are also provided.

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.

An adjustable patient support apparatus comprises a base, a support frame, and a patient support deck. The patient support deck comprises articulating deck sections, such as a leg section, seat section, and a back section pivotally coupled together. One or more actuators may be configured to move the leg and/or back section between a lowered position and one or more raised positions. The seat section may include one or more articulating seats to assist with ingress and egress from the patient support apparatus. The one or more seats may be articulated manually or electrically via a lever or actuator.

The utility model discloses a novel nursing bed and chair system. The system includes a bed frame. The bed frame is provided with a backrest portion, a footrest portion and a cushion portion. The backrest portion and the footrest portion are connected to the cushion portion in a vertically rotatable manner, respectively. One end of the footrest portion, remote from the cushion portion, is provided with a foot pad portion. The foot pad portion is rotatably connected to the footrest portion. The system further includes a backrest push rod and a footrest push rod with outer housings being fixed to the bed frame. An actuator of the backrest push rod is fixedly connected to the back of the backrest portion. The outer housing of the footrest push rod is fixed to the bed frame, and an actuator of the footrest push rod is connected to a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes a transmission frame and an L-shaped support frame. One end of the transmission frame is rotatably connected to the bed frame, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the L-shaped support frame. The other end of the L-shaped support frame is connected to one end of the foot pad portion remote from the footrest portion. The actuator of the footrest push rod is fixedly connected to the transmission frame. By adopting the utility model, a higher degree of automation can be achieved.

A first transport apparatus includes a deck for supporting a patient thereon and a lift mechanism supporting the deck. The deck is removable from the lift mechanism for use as a second transport apparatus or part of a second transport apparatus. The first transport apparatus further includes an electrically powered device at the first transport apparatus, and a user input device for wireless control of the electrically powered device, which is operable at or near the first transport apparatus and the second transport apparatus.

An adjustable patient support apparatus comprises a base, a support frame, and a patient support deck. The patient support deck comprises articulating deck sections, such as a leg section, seat section, and a back section pivotally coupled together. One or more actuators may be configured to move the leg and/or back section between a lowered position and one or more raised positions. The seat section may include one or more articulating seats to assist with ingress and egress from the patient support apparatus. The one or more seats may be articulated manually or electrically via a lever or actuator.

The present invention relates to a physiotherapeutic rocking chair device that is primarily comprised of a seating area, a main frame assembly on each side of the seating area, and a seating area frame assembly. The main frame assembly is comprised of at least one skid plate member that has a convex bottom edge that allows the device to easily rock back and forth. The seating area frame assembly is further comprised of a footrest that a user can press against to rock the device back and forth. In this manner, the device can be used to strength and/or rehabilitate the lower body/legs of a user. The seating area and seating area frame assembly and further be positioned such that they are parallel to a ground surface in order to allow a non-ambulant user to be easily transferred on to the device.

A patient support apparatus includes a frame, a stationary member mounted relative to the frame, a movable member having a pivot member rotatably mounting the movable member about the stationary member, and a fastener securing the pivot member to the stationary member. The patient support apparatus also includes a joint between the pivot member and the stationary member, which is configured to apply a tension force on the fastener.
