Our standing devices feature by a special seat supporting you during the lifting. The concept was invented by a person, a friend with special needs. During the lifting it leaves a great freedom of movement. Then when user is in standing can also move in total autonomy for a more independent life with the top of the range model.
The contact and support points when the user is in an upright position on our standing device are reason for continuous attention and research by our team, to offer ever greater comfort and adaptability to the specific needs. At this aim some configuration options are available for the foot plates, for the knee supports, for the side handles, for the seat type and for the service surface.
Each position of the product code has its own specific meaning. In case of interest in one or more available options is required to make the choice when you order.
The design commitment goes towards an ever greater comfort and assistance in safety of the user. In this sense, in addition to the options, it is also possible to choose accessories that personalize the equipment. The accessories can be purchased at later time as well.
A strong link between Struzzo’s performance and its adjustments has emerged as a key aspect to the success of this standing system. This essential condition, which is not negative in itself, becomes critical if one thinks they can use and fully appreciate Struzzo without having first adjusted it to the user’s body, or that they can adjust it without fully understanding what they are actually doing.
Thus, adjusting the standing system to the person's anthropometric characteristics is the first and most important operation to do. It may only be done by an adequately skilled operator. A wrong adjustment limits or even hinders the use of the device.
Chinesport standing frames outstand for their easy tool-free adjustment feature which makes this operation fast and easy to carry out sometimes even by the end user.
Standing at an upright position allows the patient to return and get used to a normal position after being bedridden for a long period.
For keeping an upright position, the body must excert some forces which are different from the ones he is used to excert when dealing with just a bed or a wheelchair. Thus, a relief can be obtained, decubitus pathologies can be prevented as well as using some articulations which are generally never put into action. One more accomplishment is setting the dyaphragma free, which favour breathing.
HEALTH BENEFITS
One's position is a way of expression. Comunicating from an upright position has a deeply positive significance.
The Standing frame with independent mobility by means of a joystick allows quick transferring, without the need of a carer's intervention. Once the upright position is reached, many daily-routine activities can be done. It is possible to perform movements on flat surface. It becomes easy to reach work tops to make use of them. Learning a specific technique according to the user's physical conditions, enables the user to perform many things without the presence of a carer.
“My name is Francesco Miotto and I am the inventor of Struzzo. The first interesting thing to say is that my preparation previous to my illness is as a project maker. Therefore, once I had a walking problem I just took out an old project from my drawer; also becase my wife got ill herself and could not help me anymore to stand up. Working together with a friend, in the kitchen sometimes, the first prototype of Struzzo was made. At the beginning, friends and colleagues were scheptical about the fact of being able to use it unaided, however, after some days... this is very interesting. Aids are not stupid objects. To learn how to ski people may take years with an instructor, to learn how to use Struzzo may be necessary to devote to it a couple of weeks in order to appreciate its potential and especially to learn how to use it. It is not easy, we don't have neither strength nor balance and we must be patient in time...”
« Once you have learned the correct technique, you will discover how to stand up, change positions, use sanitation, etc. almost without having to weigh on your attendant. You will find your own personal technique to use it and discover new uses. »
