The Pivot Disc

The Pivot Disc


Due to leg weakness (Knee/Hip), it may be very difficult for a
trainer, therapist or caregiver to safely transfer their client/patient from one surface to another. Their client may be able to bear weight on their legs, but may not be able to advance either foot in order to take steps. This makes transferring from the bed to a chair or vice versa very difficult. The Pivot Disc is a great tool that can be used in this situation to minimize the risk of injuring your client or yourself during functional transfers.
Pivot Disc
Place client's feet on outer edge of disc with enough room between the feet for your foot





Upon standing your client, use your foot that is on the disc to control the rotation of the disc, transferring your client from one surface to another

Average price of a Pivot Disc is $50-60
