If the patient need to get out of bed, how easy it to move the rail on one side?

It's easy for someone out of the bed, possibly not so easy for someone in the bed. It's doable, but would depend on the patients physical ability and agility.

It's real easy, I get mom up with ease every morning. Just pull the two spring knobs on each side of the rails and they go down. I slide her over the rail, which is barely below the mattress.

The unit is designed to lower and allow the pt to get out of bed. The bed I use it on is rather low..sorather than lower itI I remove it..simply pull out each button/spring..and it releases....I do it twice a day..easy.easy..easy.......

You can move the crank to either side. Its very ease and only takes a few seconds to do .

Moving the bed is not too easy on my carpet. Probably would depend on the surface.

It can slide under either side of the bed. The only adjustment is up and down.

Should be easily modified with velcro strips to attach to hospital bed rails

This is a wonderful device, very sturdy, reliable. I am a physical therapist and I recommend this to any patient who is at risk for falling out of bed. They all love it. It also enables someone to maintain his or her independence transitioning in and out of bed. It's very easy to grab onto and gives just the right amount of leverage to pull up and sit up. Highly recommend this product.

The woman I take care of (120 lbs.) uses the rail for security and balance when transferring in and out of bed to power chair. It's pretty sturdy since the rails go quite far under the mattress. I suppose a really heavy person who put a lot of weight on it could possibly bend it or snap it, but I haven't had the experience so can't really answer. If you're looking for something to help maintain balance while taking a step or two, this would certainly do it. But I wouldn't put full body weight, regardless of size, on this or much of anything else as far as that goes.

No, the rail does not lift the mattress on any side. Its convenient and when not in use it folds down at the side and is barely visible. Hope my answer helps.

It's very light, so moving it is easy--however, pushing it away is more difficult. it's rigid once you get it in place (all dials tightened) so you'll have to pick it up to move it.

Yes. There are no wheels, so in order to move it you'll have to pick the whole unit up. Same goes for moving it away while in bed. Once you've tightened the joints where you want them the will not move until you loosen them.

The foot rest is stationary. You may use it to push on & turn yourself around

There are safety rails on all sides. You won't be disappointed with this bed for the price.

You can covert without rail but the child will roll off bed unless some sort of restraint is there

step down on the other side and force it down, you do have to help it. Its not automatic.

You push down on the side rail releases and just extend and pull the unit out off the rails. It takes a bit of a pull but it will release.

It can be used from either side of the bed with no special adjustment necessary. Just pivot the whole thing around and slide it in from the left.

It's a little stiff, but very moveable. I have arthritis in both hands and can easily operate this device.
