Stand Aid is a manual standing aid to allow
patients to assist themselves in preparation for transport. Patients qualified to
use the Stand Aid should have adequate arm strength to pull themselves
upward and enough leg strength to support their own weight. Patients who
meet these criteria and have difficulty walking will find the Stand Aid a useful
and safe transport device. The Stand Aid is positioned between a traditional
walker and electric stand assist lift in terms of function. Once the patient has
positioned themselves on board, the split seat can easily be placed securely
and allow the patient to sit comfortably while a caregiver performs the transport.
For residents lacking the strength to assist themselves, a stand assist lift such
as the Alliance
TM
HE Patient Lift is recommended.
