PY - 2012 T2 - Mobility in Context AB - JuliusJulius, a 23-year-old male, was admitted to the hospital with a bacterial infection of unknown origin. He is now medically stable but weak. He is able to use his arms to help move himself in bed, but he is unable to lift his legs off the bed without assistance. The task today in therapy is to help Julius stand in the parallel bars from a wheelchair. At 6′8″, Julius doesn't believe there is any way his 5′6″ female therapist can get him into a standing position and keep him from falling. How can the therapist create a mechanical advantage that will allow her to assist Julius safely and effectively in rising to a standing position? SN - PB - F. A.
