Hoists
Editorial data: Milano: Portale Siva Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi
Abstract: Evaluating and choosing an appropriate hoist that enables the transfer of a disabled person through different environments (at home or in a care center) is one of the main problems concerning the carers, either relatives or health professionals. There is a lot of choice of hoists, but the variety of needs and environments requires an in-depth assessment. Strictly related to the choice of the hoist is the evaluation of a suitable harness that guarantees comfortable and safe transfer and raising.
