ding in users who can hardly stand or who cannot stand, in particular due to:
• Paraplegia
• Advanced multiple sclerosis
• Cerebral paresis
• Muscular dystrophy
Contraindications
In general, the indications for standing should be approved by a doctor or
orthopedist. It should therefore be clarified prior to procurement whether
contraindications exist for the patient. In general, any type of pain repre-
sents a contraindication. No upright trainer care should be conducted wi-
thout establishing prior to use whether the patient has an abnormal foot
position which requires medical attention. Depending on the disease symp-
toms and therapy, please clarify how long the user may stand in the upright
trainer. The following symptoms may occur in some cases:
• Circulation problems
• Pain in the leg and back areas
• Spastic seizures
It must also be clarified whether the user can be brought into full standing
position. For many users, only standing in a bent position is possible at first.
Never correct posture using force or strong pressure!
