That tells me that there is a large market for products for people with special needs or their caregivers.  A great example is a portable pulley that can carry a person from a bed, to a table or chair, and then lift that person to into a tub or shower.  As caregivers get older, they may not have the upper body strength to lift their charges – or themselves for that matter.  Anything that can make caregivers lives easier and is relatively inexpensive can be a gold mine.

Please post your questions, comments, or any nifty devices for lifting people around  below.
