Abstract
A system for patient rehabilitation includes a first movable frame including an articulating bed, wherein the bed is configured to be selectively articulated to an inclined position, a suspension system, wherein the suspension system is disposed within the articulating bed and is selectively adjustable to accommodate varying patient height, a harness, wherein the harness is selectively engageable with the suspension system, wherein the harness is selectively adjustable to accommodate varying patient sizes, a second movable frame including a walker, wherein the walker includes a pair of legs and a motor, wherein approximation of the two movable frames permits the patient to easily utilize the walker from the bed.
Claims10
A system for patient rehabilitation, comprising:
- an articulating bed including a first and second end, wherein the bed is rotatably supported by a first movable frame at a first end, wherein the bed is configured to be selectively articulated to an inclined position;
- and
- a suspension system defining a frame that is translatably supported by, and movable with, the articulating bed, the frame defining proximal and distal portions, the proximal portion of the frame defining an arm extending therefrom, wherein the frame is selectively adjustable along a longitudinal axis defined between the first and second ends of the articulating bed, wherein the frame includes a plurality of wheels rotatably disposed thereon, the plurality of wheels configured to translatably support the frame within the articulating bed.
A system for patient rehabilitation, comprising:
- an articulating bed including a first and second end, wherein the bed is rotatably supported by a first movable frame at a first end, wherein the bed is configured to be selectively articulated to an inclined position;
- a suspension system defining a frame that is translatably supported by, and movable with, the articulating bed, the frame defining proximal and distal portions, the proximal portion of the frame defining an arm extending therefrom, wherein the frame is selectively adjustable along a longitudinal axis defined between the first and second ends of the articulating bed;
- and
- an actuator, wherein the actuator is operably connected to a portion of the articulating bed and a portion of the frame of the suspension system, wherein actuation of the actuator translates the frame of the suspension system relative to the articulating bed.
A system for patient rehabilitation, comprising:
- an articulating bed including a first and second end, wherein the bed is rotatably supported by a first movable frame at a first end, wherein the bed is configured to be selectively articulated to an inclined position;
- a suspension system defining a frame that is translatably supported by, and movable with, the articulating bed, the frame defining proximal and distal portions, the proximal portion of the frame defining an arm extending therefrom, wherein the frame is selectively adjustable along a longitudinal axis defined between the first and second ends of the articulating bed;
- and
- a walker, including:
- a second movable frame;
- a pair of legs including an upper and lower end, wherein each of the pair of legs is rotatably supported by the second movable frame, wherein each of the pair of legs includes a foot support on the lower end thereof, wherein each of the pair of legs includes a gripping portion for a patient's hand on the upper end thereof.
