Prescription
A medical prescription is recommended.
We recommend that you have physiotherapy to accustom your body gradually to the standing position before you start using the "LifeStand®" on a daily basis.
Indications
All problems with standing that are due to paralysis, disturbance of the balance or various types of disability (for example polio, spina bifida, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, hemiplegy, multiple sclerosis,...)
Contra-indications
CLINICALS
X-rays taken during clinical trials confirm that the "LifeStand®" holds you in an excellent position. The position of the joint is physically correct. This is attributable to the knee supports,in particular, which support the anterior tuberosity of the tibia immediately below the knee joint.
