Hello all,

It might be a purchase in the near future for myself

Thanks in advance

Hey there,

I just got an Easystand Evolv through my DME and I LOVE it... I used to hate to stand, not anymore. What is your ability to transfer like? I would give the standing frame a 5/5. There's a lot I could tell you but if you could be a bit more specific I could help you in a better way...

Hey thanks for the feedback, my transfers are good. Thankfully I was in great shape previous to my accident.

I used a standing frame daily while I was in the rehab hospital, but it was quite dated and old school but I did find it certainly helped me reduce the tone and spasms in my legs.
I have an opportunity to buy the evolv at a really fantastic price but wanted to get some real opinions before I pulled the trigger on purchasing it.

Bite the bullet and do it.. I used to have a dated frame and had a hell of a time getting in it so I just didn't but with standing the key is consistency which is easier said than done Good luck with it and keep me updated... I'd like to hear how it goes for you

is that the wheelchair that stnds you up or what is it? i am new too all this. my injury was on july 1st 2010. i don't know much about anything or equipment. i am just now starting outpatient rehab on friday. i only got two weeks of it for the month i was in the hospital. having medicaid helps but takes forever to approve anything.

Hey
It's actually just a standing frame, so it stands you up and I don't think it's meant to be moved while standing.

Hey Sugar,

The Easystand is not a standing chair as Laroque said but, it can have a mobile unit on it so you can propel it like you would your wheelchair (if you use a manual chair)
