No-transfer needed –If you are not capable of, or may not feel comfortable with transferring, you can use the StrapStand because no transfer is needed.

Over-center stretch – For specific body-types, the StrapStand can provide the maximal over-center stretch needed for the optimum standing posture. Familiarity in nursing homes – Since it has some features similar to a patient lift, both clinical staff and patients feel more accustomed to it in an assisted living setting.

Compliance – When transfers or patient lifting are a concern for staff or caregivers, a standing program can still be practiced because transferring is not required.

The difference between the StrapStand and other strap-style standers is in the lifting design, which affects the comfort of the knees. With the EasyStand StrapStand, the lifting arms gently lift you up to standing (rather than pushing you into the kneepad) which greatly reduce the pressure on the knees.

Newly redesigned in 2011, the EasyStand StrapStand is now available with more options than ever, many that are similar to the EasyStand Evolv. The most popular option on the StrapStand continues to be the Swing-Out Legs, which are now easier to operate. With the simple shift of the lever, the caregiver can infinitely swing in/out the legs of the stander and lock them in place, similar to how they would operate legs on a patient lift.

To stand, position the lifting strap behind the hips and attach it to the lifting arms. After positioning your feet and knees, pump the manual actuator handle to lift you from your wheelchair, to the standing position.
