A system for moving an individual between different positions includes a frame (20) including a pivoted seat (40) for receiving and a drive system for at least partially supporting and moving an Individual between different positions. A control circuit (200) is coupled to the drive system and includes a processor programmed to control the drive system to selectively assist in moving an individual between different positions. The seat comprises a pair of seat sections (42, 44) and a pivot mount (60) to move the seat sections in a generally horizontal plane between a position immediately adjacent one another to a position spaced apart from each other to allow an individual to position her/himself between the seat sections and alternately shift her/his weight to allow an operator to position the seat sections under the individual.
