Overview
Brief Summary
This trial aims to evaluate the added improvements from a caregiver and patient benefit perspective.
The trial should identify the forces involved for the caregiver when manoeuvring the lift.

- •For expert patient:
- •≥18 years
- •Healthy male or female

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
1. Time to complete each transfer will be recorded
Time Frame: up to 24 months
Time to complete each activity and each task within the activity will be measured in seconds.
5 Subjective responses from the expert patient being transferred will be recorded
Time Frame: up to 24 months
This will be collected by the use of questionnaires
2. A detailed hierarchical task analysis (HTA) of each activity will be completed using the video recordings and experimenter field notes for each transfer to asses the number of correct placements for each device.
Time Frame: up to 24 months
Correct placement will be visually controlled with the use of markers on the subject and the final positioning device (e.g chair, toilet or bed) for each transfer. This will be reported as distance from the ideal position.
3. Physical load for movement of the hoist throughout the activities for each device will be measured.
Time Frame: up to 24 months
Force required to complete the range of patient and hoist positioning tasks, forward, backwards, rotation movement, patient positioning etc. These forces will be used with the HTA data to calculate the amount of physical force delivered by the participants with each device and each transfer. The forces used will be presented in newton.
4 Collect subjective data from the caregivers that describe, comfort, ease of use, effort and willingness to adopt in practice, etc
Time Frame: up to 24 months
This will be collected by the use of questionnaires
