I had my standing frame paid for by medicaid/ medicare. I like my standing frame it gives you a brake from sitting all the time. I dont use mine all the time as with assistance i can stand in the parralel bars i have at home. I got mine from my wheelchair company national seating and mobility. Mine is called an easystand evolv the newest version.

I had medicaid pay for mine. I didn't have Medicare after my accident and my insurance wasn't going to pay for it. This was 10 years ago and my standing frame is the easy stand 5000. I can have one person put me in it because the hoyer will fit behind the frame and lower me to my seat. Its lasted quite awhile and no problems with it. I use it 2 to 3 times a week.
