will this lift pick a patient off of the floor?

Yes, it is made to do just that. Of course, the sling you are using must be designed to handle that situation.

A lifts main purpose is moving patient from bed to commode or chair, or another bed. We can not state for sure that it will pick a patient up off the floor., but if the chains / straps are long enough, then possibly.

I returned mine as a friend had bought me one as a gift. It works well on either floor or carpet. A few ladies in my rehab class had this cane & my therapist recommended it above others. I was recovering from knee replacement surgery as was worried about my balance. Because the bottom is like a foot it is stable & supportive.

If you are asking if you can use this to lift someone from a wheelchair, yes. You have to get the sling under the patient in the proper position, attach the loops and slowly pump the handle. The same technique can be used in the reverse slowly lower the person in the chair. It works because the bottom legs of the unit can spread fairly wide, sliding them to either side of the chair. I hope this helps.

It is possible, however I would say it would take at least a person or more at each corner to lift and move it. it's sturdy enough to drag if it is on the right surface, but I'd stick with a group to help move it.

My guess is that the lift itself would need to be level to the ground, so you would need to use some wedges between it and the ceiling.

I would say absolutely not. About a pound of pressure start up, push or pull bottom bar. Sometime you have to hold on to something to keep you down. You are not having to lift your weight at all. You will not stay down unless you want to, now its just a little fear of unknown. Just moving one arm carries you up or down. I feel it is therapeutic as well as instant relief.

My Dad used this item to move my Mom from car to wheelchair when she was unable to exit the vehicle following knee replacement. She is taller and heavier than the height and weight you've listed for your mother-in-law. If he had not had this transfer seat, he would have likely needed to have our local EMT's called to assist with her transfer. Also, when we had found this and were considering getting it, I had a cousin that saw it, and she exclaimed loudly to us, that "those things WORK and I know because I've used them with elderly patients".

I would guess no unless the person pushing was very strong. I use it to go the clinic (elevators) or a store if no carts are available. Reasonably light and folds compact but because all wheel are same size difficult to manage stairs or curb.

I doubt that it would, as it's set up to register the jolting from steps. However, if there is similar jolting from pushing the wheelchair, I suppose it might.

Yes they would. You will need to adjust the straps so that the TV will be high enough to clear the stairs. You will also want to use one hand to balance and the other to hold on to some type of railing. You will want the taller person on the lower end of the lifting.

No, because it does not have enough strength to support a person and will result in one's falling if used as a cane. Don't even think about it.

This lift is awesome. It will get just about anything off the ground! Very stable. You could put a piece of 2x4 on one of the lifting arms. Just be sure you are on a flat surface. Very heavy duty. Rolls well. Has handle and

No. They suggest you place the alarm in one of to places (1)right up under the shoulder blades if you want to know anytime the patient sits up or, under the his to alert you when the patient physically lifts out of the bed. I use the latter placement. She (my patient) turns from side to side all night. It doe not go off. She would have to be lifted off the pad for several seconds before it would go off.

We have a chair-height toilet and this item worked well, but the danger we experienced was the person getting up would let go with one hand and the item tipped which landed the person in the tub with bruises! If there had been a platform for both feet to stand on, it would not tip over. So, if the ill person is dizzy, this item may not be the safest. We found installing a grab bar on the wall in front of the toilet to be the best safety measure. This unit has the right size all the way around, but just isn't stable for a dizzy ill person!!
