Electric stander

Definition

An electrically-powered device designed to support and lift a disabled (paraplegic) patient to an upright standing position to provide the health benefits associated with standing (e.g., improved breathing, circulation, digestion, and flexibility); it is neither intended to facilitate gait nor assist standing transfer. It typically consists of a seat, sling and/or platform with appropriate supports (e.g., footplates, kneepads, chest pad) and an electrically-powered lifting mechanism to raise the patient from a supine, prone, and/or seated position to standing. It includes wheels for reorientation.
