FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: frame 1, feet 2 and hand 5 elements, a seat 8, an abutment for head 9 with a headrest, a back part 10, axillary supports 13 of the device are made as a single whole structure in the form of a robot 14. The body of the robot 14 is made hollow inside, having a whole rear part 15 with feet 2 and hand 3 elements and a frame 1, an open front part with feet 2 and hand 3 elements. The head abutment 9 with a headrest is located in the head part 16 of the robot 14, the head part 16 is formed with an open face. All elements 11, 12, 17 for patient securing within the robot 14 are made of a durable but sufficiently soft material, for example, of genuine leather or eco-leather. The seat 8 is foldable and adjustable depending on the size of the patient. Rear part 15 with feet 2 and hand 3 elements and the head part 16, frame 1 of the robot 14 are made with a coating of durable washable fabrics, in particular of leather or eco-leather, and with internal soft elastic packing - seal, in particular of foam rubber type. The robot 14 body is further provided with knee joint protective means 18 and shock absorbers 19 built into the frame in the front and in the back. For ease of robot 14 control, a portable control panel is designed to move the patient. Before the first use of the robot 14, the length of the legs, the length of the arms, and the length of the trunk of the patient are manually measured. Due to the automatic adjustment of the robot 14, the feet 2 and hand 5 elements, the length of the frame 1 and the back part 10 of the robot 14 are adjusted for the patient. It's enough to implement this process once when the robot 14 is used for the first time. The adjusted robot 14 is brought to the location of the paralyzed patient and put in a horizontal position. The patient is then placed horizontally inside the robot 14, and the patient placement is verified manually. Then, the folding seat 8 is pulled out to the desired predetermined distance, securing elements 11, 12, 17 are fixed. The robot 14 is raised together with the patient in automatic mode, for example, using a control panel. The guardian, making no effort and using the robot's control panel, exercises only control over lifting and movement of the robot 14 together with the patient.

EFFECT: use of the device allows to increase operational possibilities with the maximum exclusion of efforts and loads on the patient's body.
