Support frame

A method performed by a human being to stand, the human being having a body, two hands, two legs, two feet, and at least one debilitated joint, the method comprising:

• positioning a support structure in front of the human being, the support structure described by way of a reference frustum, the reference frustum having:
• a first planar side and a third planar side each having a first trapezoidal perimeter,
• a second planar side and a fourth planar side each having second trapezoidal perimeter,
• a planar top having a first rectangular perimeter, and
• a planar bottom having a second rectangular perimeter,
• wherein each side of the first rectangular perimeter is shorter than a corresponding side of the second rectangular perimeter,
• wherein each parallel side of the second trapezoidal perimeter is shorter than a corresponding parallel side of the first trapezoidal perimeter,
• wherein the reference frustum has a height between 10 and 20 inches,
• wherein the first rectangular perimeter has a length between 10 and 16 inches,
• wherein the first rectangular perimeter has a width between 6 and 14 inches,
• wherein the second rectangular perimeter has a length between 12 and 18 inches, and
• wherein the second rectangular perimeter has a width between 8 and 16 inches, and
• wherein the support structure has exactly three horizontal support parts including:
• a first horizontal support member corresponding to a first edge of the reference frustum formed by the second planar side and the planar top,
• a second horizontal support member corresponding to a second edge of the reference frustum formed by the fourth planar side and the planar top, and
• a third horizontal support member corresponding to a third edge of the reference frustum formed by the first planar side and the planar bottom,
• wherein the support structure has vertical support parts including:
• a first vertical part corresponding to a third edge of the reference frustum formed by the first planar side and the second planar side,
• a second vertical part corresponding to a fourth edge of the reference frustum formed by the second planar side and the third planar side,
• a third vertical part corresponding to a fifth edge of the reference frustum formed by the third planar side and the fourth planar side, and
• a fourth vertical part corresponding to a sixth edge of the reference frustum formed by the fourth planar side and the first planar side;
• grasping the first horizontal support member with a first of the two hands;
• grasping the second horizontal support member with a second of the two hands;
• distributing weight of the human being throughout portions of the support structure that correspond to edges of the reference frustum;
• swinging a first of the two legs at least partially under the body;
• supporting at least a first portion of the body through the two hands grasping the support structure;
• supporting at least a second portion of the body with the first of the two legs;
• and
• raising the body upwards to a standing position.
