The EasyStand Glider combines mobility, strength training, and comfort into a single, advance and innovative design.
Unlike traditional passive standing frames, which simply position the user upright without promoting movement, the EasyStand Glider facilitates active standing. This active standing technology offers numerous health benefits, including enhanced upper body strength, improved lower body circulation, and greater overall mobility.
The EasyStand Glider active standing frame allows users to engage in reciprocal leg movement. By simply pushing a handle with their arms, users can activate the leg movement mechanism, creating a reciprocating motion that mimics the natural gait pattern. This action helps stimulate the lower body muscles, improves circulation, and enhances joint mobility, all while standing. A carer/family member can also operate the handle if the user is unable to do so independently, ensuring accessibility for those with varying abilities.
The reciprocating movement of the legs provides a level of dynamic exercise that traditional passive standing frames cannot offer. The movement is facilitated by the use of hinged detachable seat sections, one for each leg. These sections allow the user to fully extend their legs during standing, promoting healthy limb alignment and preventing stiffness. Additionally, the body weight is supported through the frame, allowing users to stand with reduced risk of strain or discomfort.
The active nature of the EasyStand Glider offers encouraging benefits, particularly for individuals with spinal cord injuries, neurological disorders, or those recovering from surgery. Research has shown that regular use of active standing technology can contribute to bone density improvement, muscle strengthening, spinal alignment, and enhanced circulatory function. Over time, this can help reduce the risk of pressure sores, improve postural alignment, and even encourage further functional improvements.
Studies also suggest that standing more frequently can reduce the risk of developing conditions associated with prolonged sitting, such as obesity, heart disease, and poor circulation. For individuals who are unable to walk independently, the EasyStand Glider serves as an essential tool for maintaining an active lifestyle, preventing the health complications that come with extended periods of immobility.
Another feature of the EasyStand Glider is its user-friendly design, which significantly eases the process of transitioning between sitting and standing positions. This is especially important for individuals with limited mobility, as transferring can often be one of the most difficult and painful tasks in daily life. The wide seat and flip-up kneepads allow users to move comfortably between sitting and standing positions, reducing the risk of injury or discomfort during the transfer process.
Additionally, a positioning bar provides a secure grip to assist users with standing, ensuring that they remain steady and supported throughout the transition. For users who need additional support, a client lift can be employed to safely and efficiently move them into the standing frame. This design makes the EasyStand Glider an excellent choice for both independent users and those who rely on therapists for assistance.
One of the most impressive features of the EasyStand Glider is its remarkable customisation capabilities. Whether tall or short, able-bodied or with limited mobility, the EasyStand Glider can be adjusted to meet the user’s individual needs, ensuring an optimal fit for comfort and support.
The adjustable resistance cylinders are a key component of the customisation process. Users can adjust the resistance levels to match their strength and stamina, with twelve different resistance settings available. This adaptability allows for a personalised experience, enabling the therapist to increase or decrease resistance based on the user’s progress and physical capabilities. Additionally, the seat depth, back angle, kneepad height, and footplate height can all be adjusted, ensuring that the frame aligns perfectly with the user’s body, no matter their size or preferences.
The handle height is also fully adjustable, allowing users to find a comfortable position for gripping and manoeuvring the Glider.
