The Johns Hopkins Activity and Mobility Program (JH-AMP) at Cooper continues to be integral to our daily practice. We are excited to introduce new tools and methodologies that support both our patients and team members.
Cooper has invested in sit-to-stand mobility devices called Sara® Stedy for all inpatient units at Cooper University Hospital in Camden. These devices are designed for patients who can partially bear weight and are able to assist with the transfer. The sit-to-stand device also minimizes the risk of injury for both the user and caregiver, as it eliminates the need for manual lifting, which can be physically demanding and potentially harmful. The Sara® Stedy device provides patients with greater ease in transferring from a hospital bed to a wheelchair, or to and from the toilet/commode or bedside chair.
For questions about the Sara Stedy lift or the JH-AMP program, please email to Kevin Wegner OTD, OTR/L, CLT, CSRS, CBIS, CDP, Project Coordinator, Johns Hopkins Activity and Mobility Promotion, Rehabilitation Department at Wegner-kevin@cooperhealth.org.
