Because of the patient's size and lack of strength, three therapists were required to help him assume developmental positions. The method used to achieve easier positioning consisted of modifying a portable pneumatic lift, a lift normally used to transfer patients in a sitting position.* We placed the patient prone on a raised mat table. (A clearance of 9 in under the table was required to accommodate the base of the pneumatic lift.)… |
