Patient upright device

A method of using a device for uprighting a user, the method comprising:

• strapping a user's body to a frame adapted to receive the user's body after the user has achieved a lying position;
• inflating a bladder attached to the frame on which the user's body rests when the bladder is in an uninflated state, the bladder being inflatable from a first position to a second position;
• attaching a fitting to the inflatable bladder for receiving a hose to allow the inflatable bladder to be inflated from the first position to the second position;
• engaging a plate hingeably attached to a bottom portion of the frame providing a platform for a user's feet to rest when the bladder is in the second position;
• engaging a telescoping leg assembly attached at a bottom end of the frame, the telescoping leg assembly stabilizing the device when the inflatable bladder is in the second position and the telescoping leg assembly is extended laterally from the frame;
• resting the user on a surface disposed within and secured to the frame and forming an outwardly facing portion of the inflatable bladder to rest the user's body when the user is placed on the device;
• and attaching a base to a back portion of the frame engaging the device to a ground surface to secure the device while the user is placed in an upright position as the bladder is inflated from the first to the second position.
