The VISION consists of a platform with a
motorised system for raising a person.
The VISION was designed and built for:
• Exercise purposes for maintaining or inde-
pendently upholding an upright standing
body position;
• Maintenance of upright posture by means
of a support belt running under the
coccyx, or optionally available accessories,
as an alternative to autonomous upright
posture.
• Posture is the relationship between
the body and the environment, which
corresponds to the maintenance of a
balance between the elastic forces of the
extensor and flexor muscles as well as the
internal body forces and the forces of the
environment.
The VISION is the aid by which this posture
or this interaction of forces is made possible
and facilitated.
The device must be prescribed by a medical
specialist, who has tested beforehand and
determined if the VISION is suitable for the
individual therapeutic goal of the patient.
Furthermore, the medical specialist has
determined the aid to be suitable according
to measurements, weight and willingness of
the patient to use the aid.
The aid is delivered via an authorised tech-
nician in compliance with the requirements
of the country where it is being used and in
strict accordance with the information and
instructions in this manual for adjustments
of the aid according to the measurements of
the user. Only compliance of the regulations
and instructions can lead to positive ergo-
nomically effects.
We wish you every success when using the
standing frame VISION.
The standing frame VISION is an electrical
raising aid for adults.
The aid was developed to allow prolonged
standing where the ability to stand is re-
stricted or lost altogether. Such standing is
indicated for, among other things, prepara-
tion for walking training and the recovery of
the ability to walk, balance training, throm-
bosis prophylaxis, decubitus prophylaxis and
metabolic stimulation. The standing aid can
be used for spacticity inhibition and contrac-
ture prophylaxis in cases of paralysis of the
legs; the legs and trunk; the legs, trunk and
arms e.g. due to paraplegia, cerebral palsy,
poliomyelitis or multiple sclerosis.

9 Initial operation
The reseller is to unpack the unit, ensure
that the components and accessories listed
in the scope of delivery are all present and
undamaged, and give the buyer the initial
instructions on use of the aid. Above all the
reseller should read through the complete
present user manual carefully, in order to
then explain it to the customer in detail.
This way, with help of the reseller, the user
as well as the attendant must become famil-
iar with the correct operation of the aid.
Once the demonstration has been complet-
ed, the reseller must ensure the user and/or
the assistant have fully understood the basic
functions of the equipment. This is the only
way to prevent the user from dangerous
situations.
The above mentioned requirements must be
observed for first use and also for reuse.

well as explain the basic functions of the
device according to MPG (medical products
law) to qualified staff.
