This assistive device enables the user to assume and maintain an extreme upright position, and to move indoor assisted by a caregiver or relative.

Users who are able to transfer themselves from their wheelchair or other sitting position to the standing aid and to lift themselves up unaided can use this classic manual model. If efficient and constant assistance is available this standing aid is also suitable for weaker users who only use it few times during the day.

The end user can grip the long side handles and the tray edges to lift himself up. If the user is unable to bring himself to a standing position, then he must be helped by one or more caregivers depending on his body weight. Help is needed to close the buttock support (only few users are able to perform this operation by themselves). The long side handles can be helpful at first stage to support the user in the transferring onto the footplates, and then for guaranteeing a safe condition during the lifting.
