A dressing-aid-and-transfer device for assisting attendants and patients in moving and dressing. The device includes a space frame with support legs of the space frame defining a device perimeter. A chest support is provided to support the weight of the patient being moved. The space frame is designed so as to provide a stable and lightweight transferral device that is transportable and easy for a single person to operate. The support legs and reinforcing cross-pieces are configured to provide structurally stability without interfering with an attendant's ability to easily remove and place clothing on a patient's lower body. The support legs pivot at the base of the space frame in order to reduce the force required to transfer a patient to and from a sitting position. Optional features include a rotatable base and the use of actuators to reduce the effort required to tilt the space frame. |
