I recently went to PT and worked with a Therapist and a DME Rep to evaluate what Lifts are available to assist me with my transfers due to my disability/weakness progression.
I now have the "Rifton TRAM" - sit-to-sit lift, a good lift for me and my weakness. My struggles to stand, pivot and flop are now greatly reduced.
I was unaware of it until the rep advised me to review as a good solution for me. I've had it for about 2 weeks now.
Other lifts I tried:
- "Hoyer Ascend" - sit-to-stand lift, struggled since not quite enough strength in my legs.
- "Hoyer Advance" - full sling lift, personally not ready for this type yet.
Searched and did not find any posts about the Rifton TRAM so maybe I'm the first? LOL
