If the patient stays at home and can lift him or herself, that is best. If the patient can not easily lift him or herself, a hydraulically assisted patient home lift may be necessary. These patient home lifts although initially more expensive may offer reduced long term costs by reducing or eliminating the risks associated with lifting through the use of a mechanical patient home lifting device. Pictured above is the patient home lift for self-use. This is the ideal way to get the patient to use muscles that otherwise may atrophy. By using this mechanical patient home lift muscle tone is enhanced over time as well as improving self-movement and easing the load on the caregiver. Many caregivers like the advantage of allowing the patient to move to a sitting position under their own power to reduce the strain of awkward movement. More accurately through the use of the mechanical patient home lift the patient may be able to gain mobility and self confidence that may improve healing from injury or reduce the set back due to illness. The patient stability offered through the patient home lift to the patient after reclining may prevent falls. (This is not directly due to the patient home lift but is an added benefit to its available use.) More accurately, by self-avoiding rapid head height increase through the patient home lift, patient dizziness can be avoided (or tolerated by holding onto the lift). This, of course, is based on the technique suggested by the caregiver of the patient home lift. The ease of activity through the use of a mechanical patient home lift will improve self-toileting easing the caregiver responsibility. Again for clarity, many of the patient home lifts have excellent mobility allowing the caregiver to move the patient home lift into place, position the patient on the commode then allowing them the dignity to perform tolieting themselves. By using the self-lift after tolieting completion, the patient can stand and prepare for a transfer to a wheelchair or other transfer device.
