Rise Assist Device

A rise assist device comprising,

• a substantially planar portion of material sized and shaped as a rest for an occupant's feet thereby defining a foot rest, two tubular grips disposed near lateral ends of and extending dorsally from the plate, wherein a portion of the dorsal ends of the grips are inclined medially at an angle between 15 and 45 degrees from normal such that when grasped the induce a moderate pronation of the hands of a user, wherein the grips are braced against posterior translation by complementary tubular members coupled to the grips near the foot rest and extending in a posterior direction therefrom in a plane distinct from that of the foot rest.
