2o years ago in Rehab they had standing frames that were basically plumbing pipe screwed together and bolted down on heavy duty plywood. when you stood up you strapped a wide leather belt behind your heels, one in front of your thighs and one behind your butt. It was simple, sturdy and worked like a charm.
I was thinking of making one but it has been so long and I can't remember the details. Anyone know of any construction drawings for a standing frame? It seems ridiculous to spend 5k or better on the store bought frames.

Go to google and set it for images and search for "standing frame" There are many pictures, it even shows some like you describe.
Hope this helps.

i have what is called a standing box made of just wood, i used to have the actual plans to it, but i couldnt tell u where they are, i could take some pics of it, i dont use it anymore but it worked great, it was designed off the one they had at stallworth at vanderbuilt rehab....i cant use it because of broken femurs in a serious of mishaps, once u stand in it it has a spring hinged door that locks your butt in and u just stand in it simple as can be......they are relatively easy to make......let me know and i'll pop some pictures.........
