Abstract
A standing frame which has a horizontal base board connected at rear by bolts and wing nuts to a cross strutted vertical section and at the front to vertical struts all connecting to upper table top. The whole structure made rigid by 2 diagonal struts W. It will be seen that removal of bolts at X and Y allows table top to fold down into rear section which in turn folds into base board - total dimensions folded are approx 3' x 2' 6" x 4". All these components are easily altered to suit different height patients so that the hip support strap at bolt and knee support strap at 'V' bolt suit bodily dimensions of patient (figure A not shown). <IMAGE>
Description
Folding and adjustable standing frame
Preamble: Standing frames are useful devices for spinally injured people who have lost use of their legs ie paraplegics and te faplegics. Some other diseases like Parkinsons Disease,
Altzheimers, M S & M R often also dictate a constant sitting posture and without excerise can develop deterioation of leg and stomach muscles resulting in constipation which complicates incontinence. Blood circulation lower part of body is impared and this combined with excessive sitting posture can cause pressure sores - very difficult to cure and sometimes fatal. A standing frame used 3 or 4 times a day in say 15 minute spells permits a vertical position and is helpful to unused muscles and blood circulation and bowel function.
To the writers knowledge all standing frames hitherto have been heavy, one piece, expensive, non portable and non adjustable and certainly could not be transported in a car when patient goes on holiday or to nursing home or hospital. There is therefore a need for a portable standing frame which is easily folded into manageable dimensions and yet is easily and quickly re erected into a fully rigid structure.
My claim is based on foldability of a standing frame. The following description should be read in conjuction with enclosed diagrams on sheets A and B also photograph F.
The invention comprises a base board a rear cross strutted verticaL section, a table top and front verticaL struts all made from English beech wood. Carriage/coach bolts with quick release wing nuts connect all components at the indicated pivot points and all components are therefore interchangeable for different height patients.
As indicated in diagram A, it is not necessary to separate base board, rear section and table top so folding and re erection of the frame are easily and quickly accomplished.
Claims (4)
1) A folding and adustable standing frame for paraplegics
comprising base board on to which wheelchair and patient is
pushed.
2) A table top is connected by vertical struts at front and
rear to the base board to give complete rigidity.
3) The patient is lifted or pulls himself into vertical
position and strapped into frame with hip strap and knee
strap to keep legs straight. If necessary alternative bolt
holes permit the table top and straps to be raised or
lowered for different height patients.
4) By undoing certain wing nuts shown in diagram 'B' the whole
frame is easily folded flat for transfer in the house or
transport in a car.
