In this video you will see the Theracare Leg Lifter : a cost-effective way to get legs into bed – independently and safely. The Theracare Leg Lifter from Theraposture has been designed to enable users to safely and easily get their legs into bed. This simple daily task can prove difficult or even impossible for many people who may have lost muscle tone and therefore strength and general mobility. The Leg Lifter is compatible with most types of bed whether they are non-adjustable or adjustable. It will comfortably lift legs up, over and onto the sleeping surface, requiring very little movement or repositioning.

For many years, Linda and her husband David have been regular visitors to the  RSPB  Minsmere nature reserve on the east coast of Suffolk.
