Battery powered lift for disabled persons / prepared by Soltice Designs.: NH18-1/397-1991E-PDF
“A prototype of a lift for the disabled was tested in a clinical trial conducted by two occupational therapists and the lift's engineer developer. Six severely disabled and five non-disabled persons (attendants and health care professionals) used the lift in the test setting for a variety of transfers. Subsequently, each person completed an interview questionnaire evaluation with the therapists and engineer. The lift was very positively evaluated by all participants and they regarded it as having distinct advantages over any currently available lifts. Results of the trial suggested a number of minor modifications as well as the need for specific revisions to the sling, and it is recommended that this be followed by further testing of this component"--Abstract, p. 4.
