2. Product description
2.1 Material information
The base frame and the individual elements are made of steel which is non-corro-
ding and powder-coated. All body supports (except for the knee pelotte pads) are
padded and covered. The covers are made of 100% polyester or polyamide textile
substrate, and are ame resistant (according to DIN EN 1021-1+2).
2.2 Handling and transport
The upright trainer is not designed to be carried, as it is tted with castors. Should
you have to carry the equipment due to obstacles, ensure that all moving parts are
tightened.
Then two people should position themselves next to the upright trainer, grip it on
the left and right of the frame and carry it to the required location. To transport the
upright trainer, reduce all adjustments to their most compact size (fold up pelvic
frame, set lowest height etc.)

Never correct posture using force or strong pressure!
2.3 Application areas, use according to the intended purpose
Indications
The TIM upright trainer is designed for interior use and serves to train standing 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 orthope-
dist. It should therefore be claried prior to procurement whether contraindications
exist for the patient. In general, any type of pain represents a contraindication. No
upright trainer care should be conducted without establishing prior to use whether
the patient has an abnormal foot position which requires medical attention.
Depending on the disease symptoms 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 claried whether the user can be brought into full standing position.
For many users, only standing in a bent position is possible at rst.
