Vertical standing frame for the acquisition and maintenance of an upright position and the training of the antigravity muscles of young, adult or elderly who cannot acquire and maintain them independently. Indicated for persons with functional deficits in verticalization and in maintaining an upright position, who have a minimum residual control of the trunk and head; users suffering from pathologies with alteration and impairment of the residual postural control, in which the load on the lower limbs is allowed, to improve bone density, ventilatory capacity, intestinal peristalsis, bladder function, blood circulation.
A manually-powered, mobile 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, 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), wheels, and a manual mechanical lifting mechanism whereby the patient is raised from a supine, prone, and/or seated position by themselves or with the assistance of a healthcare provider. It includes wheels for reorientation.
