Yes he has an electric head/foot hospital bed. He reports to me he had another therapist attempt this with him 4-5 yrs. ago, but was unsuccessful at that time. They apparently tried a graduated hand loop rope. The problem is once he gets into sidelying how does he stay put? He currently has a stage II/III decub. On the sacrum.
