• The stand-up lifts are useful and effective when a patient has a certain degree of de-
pendence coupled with a caregiver need for basic care.
• They are designed for patients whose mobility is reduced but who can however be suppor-
ted temporarily on at least one leg (a minimum of tonicity by the patient is required), and
who require mechanical assistance to be put into standing and be moved.
• The stand-up lifts contribute to the stimulation of the patient and its mobility; stimulate the
cardiac system; combating against osteoporosis and all disorders associated with immo-
bility such as falls during transfers; stimulate brain activity thus favouring maintenance of
continence; improves intestinal activity and bladder function.
• Using a stand-up lift requires a capacity assessment of the patient.
• When using a stand-up lift, patients can be categorized in 2 categories:
1. Low-tonicity patients
2. Medium-tonicity patients
• How to properly use a stand-up lift (1.):
- Low-tonicity patients shall be transferred in a “semi-seated” position
