Ah, a gimbal, of course, brain fart - I do like the idea of mechanization, however, as I say, I tend to think of more in terms of say an articulated platform, to control the incline of the torso and/or hips of a bound subject, rather than attaching limbs to it - even an articulated spreader could result in sprains and muscle tears if the subject is not very flexible, you really need to be careful with that, I wouldn't do anything the subject cannot do without mechanical aid - my sister snapped tendons in her knee just raising her leg to climb on a bicycle, she was a swimmer, and the flutter kick might have something to do with that, but realize it doesn't always take much. As for the gimbal, you could probably design a suspension device using nylon straps and possibly steel water pipe (see Hammock chairs) with these properties, depending on how high your ceilings are and how much room you have, and it wouldn't need to be mechanically articulated - unless she's a hefty babe, and you need a winch to get her off the ground.[8|] Probably need to climb up in the attic, and use a cross member perpendicular to the ceiling joists to better distribute the load, to avoid cracking the plaster, and/or a lag bolt pulling out for any suspension application.
