Not knowing what this easy stand does, I am grateful I watched your video so that I can pass the information on to our veterans who are disabled. Thank you!

My niece was left paraplegic after suffering cancer at 14 years old. She's now 25 . I would love one of these for her buy there's no way we cud afford one. So sad that disabled people suffer due to lack of funds.

Hey Matt, thanks for bringing up the topic of the benefits of standing and how important it is to maintain our overall health and help avoid the all too common issues caused by us sitting all day. With all due respect, in my humble opinion, standing frames should be obsolete like pay phones, typewriters, cassette tapes etc. Here's why. Standing frames are big, cumbersome, stationary devises that are typically used just like you use yours, for 30-60 min a day , a couple times a week. Most frames end up like treadmills and stair masters for able bodied people.....in the garage gathering dust because they're too much of a hassle to get in and out of and I know when I was in one I felt like a child being put in a time-out. Let me ask you this, would you have been happy standing 5 times a week for 30-60 min before you were injured?? With the option of standing wheelchairs being available they give the user the ability to stand repeatedly throughout the whole day, anytime, pretty much anywhere. This is much more similar to what you did before you were injured and MUCH more healthier and MUCH more functional. The ONLY thing a standing frame has over a standing wheelchair is they are much less expensive. I do understand a standing wheelchair is a lot of money but there are some funding options out there like vocational rehabilitation. But if there's absolutely no way for someone to get a standing wheelchair funded then by all means standing in a standing frame is WAY better than not standing at all. The standing wheelchair I have was paid for by voc rehab and has had a huge powerful impact on my life. I stand 20- 60+ times a day. I feel a sense of normalcy and equality, especially when I can stand and have a conversation with an able bodied person at eye level. Research shows frequency of standing is more important than duration. For example, it's better to stand 20 times a day for 3min than it is to stand 1 time a day for 60 min even though both equal 1 hour. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

@Scott Liesch Hi I'm Dwayne, and I have been disable for 10 years now, and the hope of ever getting back to standing, to maybe walking one day is closing, and yes I have a standing frame as well, which took my insurance and my doctor maybe 5 years to approve me for that and once I got it I was in it but then it started to look like the faith "old treadmill" at time I feel like it's working for something and then I go back to feeling stuck in place mentally and physically...

@@dwaynerandolph1299 not sure I understand what you're saying. If you have not tried a standing wheelchair I suggest doing so. It's a waaay better option than a standing frame. As far as getting it funded if you are able and willing to work you may be able to get a standing wheelchair paid for by vocational rehabilitation.
