Disassembles for easy storage or transportation
The Up 200 is a portable folding stand aid that can be quickly and easily disassembled into three components for effortless storage or transportation, making it perfect to fit into tight spaces in small homes and facilities. The straightforward disassembly process can be completed in under one minute, without the need for tools.
Adjustable Leg Opening
The legs can be opened and closed to help navigate around bulky furniture such as commode frames and armchairs. This enables closer and safer access for the patient and better ensures good posture and positioning during use.
Contoured swing-away seat pads
Padded and shaped for comfort, each seat pad rotates outwards to allow unobstructed access for the patient when standing.
Ergonomic Design Considerations
The Up 200 has been designed with ergonomics in mind. The structure of the lifter makes it easy for the user to get into the correct posture easily. Large grab handles provide confidence for the user to pull themselves up. The Up helps to obtain a supported standing position allowing users to help build the confidence to walk independently.
The importance of being able to stand up independently cannot be overstated. It is one of the most essential daily actions that most people take for granted. When aged, muscularly affected, or people in recovery are losing or gaining mobility, it is vital that these actions and activities are practised. This helps ensure mobility is kept and improved and increases independence. The Oxford Up 200 encourages active engagement and promotes muscle tone and balance by allowing the user to take part in the lift while still providing the confidence of support.
Being able to stand up easily significantly impacts daily activities, such as getting out of bed and getting up from a toilet or chair. Encouraging the use of these muscles will help provide improved stability, balance, and mobility, increasing independence.
