The Modular Power Standing System is appropriate for use by individuals who drive a power wheelchair and
cannot stand up on their own. The Modular Power Standing System allows such users to change position
including from seating to standing, standing to seating, or any position in between. The device is appropriate
for indoor and outdoor use.
Motion Concepts makes no claims as to the therapeutic effectiveness of the products. Our only claims relate
to the ability of the products to provide safe and reliable powered repositioning on the equipment onto which
they are installed.
1.2 Considerations For Use
IMPORTANT!
Prior to evaluation and use of the Motion Concepts Modular Power Standing
System, all consumers must consult with a qualified physician and receive medical clearance
and approval to use assisted standing devices. An experienced Occupational or Physical therapist
should also be consulted and present during the evaluation and prescription process.
WARNINGS
and
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Range of motion
of the hips, knees & ankles (bilaterally) should be within functional limits for stand-
ing as determined by a clinician. Limitations of range of motion can result from many conditions (spas-
ticity, heterotrophic ossification, hip dislocation, etc.) which can cause orthopedic changes and prevent
an ergonomic standing posture.
Blood pressure
– Decreased muscle tone can make it difficult for blood to circulate from the lower
extremities back to the lungs and heart. It may be necessary for the consumer to wear compression
stockings on their legs and possibly an abdominal binder to prevent light headedness and blacking
out. Clinicians should monitor for orthostatic hypotension, elevated heart rate or other cardiovascular
conditions.
Bone density
– If the wheelchair user has not been ambulatory or fully weight-bearing for more than 6
months, it is recommended that a bone density study be performed to ensure that the long bones of the
lower extremities will be able to physically support their weight in a standing position. Generally speaking,
the longer the amount of time since a person has been ambulatory, the greater the risk for bone mineral
loss and decreased bone density.
Other contraindications may exist; Medical Professionals must be consulted in determining
each individual’s indications and contraindications for use of an assisted standing device.
