An apparatus for lifting, arranging and/or transporting non-ambulatory patients includes a mobile support and an elongated element mounted thereon. The element has three freedoms of movement relative to the support; that is, the element can be raised and lowered in a generally vertical direction, the element can be tilted about an axis extending in the direction of the elongation of the element, and the element can be inclined about an axis extending transversely of the direction of the elongation of the element. The composite movements facilitate the carrying of a patient. |
