The EasyStand® Glider with Moderate Support is a Sit to Stand Active Stander Package from Altimate Medical. The EasyStand Glider is the only standing device on the market today that features active standing technologies. Users move the push handles with their arms, and this creates reciprocal movement of their legs. This provides lower extremity range of motion and at the same time active upper body strength and endurance training. The full range seat has hinged, break-away sections for each leg that allow for full leg extension at the hip. Adjustable Resistance Cylinders allow users to adjust the workload for cardiovascular conditioning and upper body strengthening. It allows the user to start with minimal resistance and increase as they become stronger. The Glider handles allow an attendant to assist in movement, which is especially important for new users. Numerous research studies suggest that use of an active standing frame can positively affect an individual’s health.

By strategically placing the pivot points of the stander in line with the body’s natural pivot points, features offering postural support remain in place from sitting to standing, minimizing shear. Critical areas such as knee pads, seat, back and chest pad are well cushioned for comfort. The three-point system of knee pads, seat, and chest pad provides the individual with support in all positions from sitting to standing. The Glider also allows the user to ascend and descend at their own pace with the ability to stop anywhere between sitting and standing. The Glider’s open base with Positioning (Grab) Bar makes transfers easy and safe. For those that self-transfer, it is a quick lateral seat to seat transfer, flip the knee pad down and you are ready to move from sitting to standing and begin gliding. For those who require assistance for a stand pivot or lift assist transfer, features such as the removable back ease the way and improve safety. Once seated, the user can independently achieve the standing position using the manual hydraulic actuator handle. The Glider is also an ideal stander for multi-user facilities with adjustable components and features such as Easy-Adjust Seat Depth offering easy, smooth adjustments using roller bearings.

Newly injured and those that have not stood recently often need to acclimate to standing.  The Glider allows a user to stop and rest at any point between sitting and standing. The EasyStand Glider is also beneficial in preparation for exoskeleton walking. According to regulatory approval of exoskeleton products, prior to using an exoskeleton walking device, users should be able to stand using an assistive standing device such as the EasyStand Glider. Being able to stand comfortably for progressively longer periods of time while maintaining or improving the flexibility of leg muscles makes use of the Glider ideal before starting a walking program.
