Bed transport looks simple. In reality, it’s one of the repetitive, physically demanding tasks in daily hospital work, especially across long corridors, ramps, and elevators.
WeAssist is a powered castor, designed to reduce that strain.
An independent study compared the same hospital bed moved manually vs. with WeAssist, while measuring physical load during typical transport situations.
Study highlights:
– Up to 45% reduced hand action forces.
– Up to 36% reduced spinal compression forces.
– Up to 36% less trunk inclination when pushing.
– Up to 67% less muscle activity in examined muscle groups.
