Psychological benefits
For more than 20 years, the Insignis Powered Standing Frame has been providing significant therapeutic and psychological benefit for people in wheelchairs or who have difficulty standing or who cannot stand at all.
The Insignis Powered Standing Frame is designed to:
-
Be highly practical, straightforward and comfortable to use
-
Ease strain on carers
-
Benefit clients of all standing ability (even those who cannot stand unaided)
-
Fit easily in homes (easily manoeuvrable and a substantial piece of equipment)
The Powered Standing Frame includes:
-
Steel lifting arms to lift the user in an arc, minimising strain on knees and hips
-
A padded knee support for extra cushioning, minimising strain on the knees
-
A chest rest and back support to keep the upper torso in a straighter posture
-
A table top (the client is more likely to use the frame on a regular basis as many tasks can be done in the standing position)
-
A metal frame making it a compact and strong piece of equipment and easy to keep hygienically clean
-
A reliable motor so the Standing Frame will last for many years
The Powered Standing Frame was designed in Scotland and is made in the UK, making support for the frame and for clients readily available.
