A 78 year old user who weighs 209 pounds, long
in need of hip surgery and with arthritis so bad that he has been on crutches for the last
18 months was an early user of the unit. He had an acute stabbing pain in his right
hip each time he got up. He wrote that with the Help-Stand ® "I
lift myself with my arms, rather than putting the weight on my hip". There is
"no pain at all." A Pennsylvania medical doctor (MD) did a trial evaluation with his patients and stated "this lift mechanism has been extremely beneficial in regaining independence without a caregivers service." "I would prescribe this device to my patients on a regular basis." "It is my opinion that this device is almost universally functional as an aide to patients." A stroke disabled patient had lost the use of her entire right side. She was unable to stand without assistance since her stroke. With the unique knee support, she was able to support her paralyzed leg and rise by pulling with only one hand. She stood to her feet on the first try. Another user is a quadriplegic with no leg use and very limited shoulder and arm use. She was able to stand by herself with the the Help-Stand® for the first time in two years after her tragic auto accident. "I have degenerative arthritis in the back. I am 67 years old and weigh 350 pounds. I can not get up without help from someone else. With Help-Stand ®, I can now get up by myself! What a wonderful help it is." "My husband's 90 year old grandmother was having a lot of difficulty getting out of her bed. By the time she'd struggled to stand, she was dizzy, disoriented and had, in fact, fallen several times. The Help-Stand ® has enabled her to pull herself up out of bed very easily and gives her the support to become steady before she tries to walk. Thank you so much for this wonderful product!" "After a knee replacement in attempting to get out of a chair or off of the bed, I found the Help-Stand ® to (be) a great success. The Help-Stand ® was a great help in overcoming the trouble (of) getting in and out of my recliner." |
