2.3 Application areas, use according to the intended purpose
The
till.
supine standing frame is a medical product of risk class 1 for indoor
areas and is used for standing training in the event of significantly impaired
or non-existing ability to walk or stand.
2.3.1 Indications
The
till.
supine standing frame is designed for users with significantly pro-
nounced impairment of standing and walking, especially due to:
• a complete or incomplete hemiplegia/hemiparesis, if applicable, with
inclusion of the torso musculature due to a condition of the brain (e.g.
stroke, brain tumour)
• a complete or incomplete paralysis of the arms and legs
(tetraplegia/tetraparesis) and, if applicable, with inclusion of the torso
musculature due to a condition of the brain (e.g. multiple sclerosis, brain
injury), the spinal column (e.g. poliomyelitis, paraplegic syndrome with
trauma or tumour) or the peripheral nervous system/muscular conditions
(e.g. Guillan-Barré syndrome, muscle dystrophy)
• a complete/incomplete paralysis of the legs (paraplegia/
paraparesis) and, if applicable, with inclusion of the torso musculature
due to a spinal condition (e.g. paraplegic syndrome with traumatic/in-
flammatory/tumourous thoracic and lumbar lesion) or conditions of the
peripheral nervous system/muscular conditions
(e.g. polyneuropathia, muscular dystrophy)
The supine standing frame
till.
is used to assume a standing position to achie-
ve positive effects of an upright body position and/or to prepare for walking
training. The vertical position has a positive effect on the cardiovascular re-
gulation, the bone metabolism, the peristalsis and urinary diversion. Stan-
ding training is used to prevent decubitus, a thrombosis or joint contractures,
it promotes head control, arm function and spatial awareness. Spatial
awareness is supported by possible change in location of the aid by care-
ful rolling in supine position, if the clinical picture and the spatial conditions
permit it.
