Abstract (en)

Linked to the front ends of a pair of support arms 9 (carried from a pivot 5) is a pair of straps 12 leading from support members 13 which are wrapped around and secured about the thighs 14 of the user 15. The support members 13 form part of a general harness 16 which is also secured about the torso of the user 15. A further pair of straps 17 extend from the chest area of the harness 16 and these straps 17 are linked to the other ends of the arms 9. Gentle pressure applied to the upper part of the torso of the person can move him into a forward tilted condition. Additional forward rotation of the body about the centre of gravity 20 by further gentle pressure by a helper causes the body of the person to move into a condition closer to being parallel to the ground. He can then be lowered gently to the ground into a prone condition and the harness 16 can then be removed. <IMAGE>
