Standing Frames

What Is a Standing Frame?

A standing frame is an assistive device that supports a person in an upright or standing position when independent standing is not possible or practical. These frames feature a wide, stable base with supports for the feet, knees, hips, and torso.

Secure straps or harnesses hold the user safely in place. Adjustable elements adapt to individual size and posture.

Standing frames help users bear weight through the legs. They reduce prolonged sitting, improve circulation, and support bone and joint health. They also enable better access to eye-level tasks and social interaction.

Some models are static with a stationary upright design, while others offer tilt-in-space or sit-to-stand mechanisms, offering different levels of adjustability and user movement.

Just keep in mind that proper sizing and use under guidance are important, especially for changing posture or weight-bearing.

Skyward Medical’s standing frame collection features ergonomic design, full adjustability for height, angle, and supports, durable materials, and care-focused features.

What Are The Key Benefits of a Standing Frame?

Standing frames deliver significant health and functional advantages for users who need support to stand.

• Physiological Health: Regular use improves circulation, promotes bone density through weight-bearing, activates muscles, and reduces pressure-sore risk.
• Functional Independence: Upright positioning helps users perform daily tasks more easily, increasing independence and participation in social or educational settings.
• Postural Alignment: Standing frames support proper joint alignment in the hips and spine, helping to manage spasticity or contractures and maintain or improve range of motion.
• Systemic Health: The upright stance can improve digestive and urinary function, offer potential respiratory benefits, and provide a psychological boost from standing rather than sitting.
• Safety and Adjustability: Our standing frames are adjustable for different users and feature secure supports to safely manage transitions and standing time.
• Brand Assurance: We offer expert support, configuration options, FSA/HSA-eligible standing frames, and a commitment to delivering durable, quality equipment.
