Body UP Evolution was demonstrated to Occupational Therapists attending the Moving and Handling People Conference for Occupational Therapists in Islington, London 31st Jan – 1Feb 2013. This conference is run annually by the Disabled Living Foundation as a three day educational event.
Occupational Therapists commented on the multifunctional nature of the Body UP, the ability of a single carer to manage a patient up to 100Kg in weight, the lack of cables and power for the machine, the use of the Body UP to transfer to a car and finally, its portability.
One Occupational Therapist commented “The Body UP looks very basic, but actually, after seeing it in action I am really impressed by the number of different transfers it can achieve with very little effort from the carer.”
