Thanks so much Cody!
this is just the kind of information I need!
I was entranced by the one that lets you "walK" aorund! I would so
love to be vertical again.
Standing would be just like a ride!
I hope I could transfer, unassisted, but evenif I couldn't it seems
like a great tool.
Here's hoping Medicare will cover it.

Akua....Yes I am paralized from T-3/4. It helps with maintaining
muscle and bone strength in my legs and my arms, blood flow and
blood pressure, range of motion in my hips, and it helps me mentally
to know I am doing something positive. It helps me with my arms and
hips because the standing frame allows my legs to move back and
forth as I move the hand grips/glides back and forth in the top of
the frame. Basically the hand grips on top are connected to the foot
shoes on the bottom of the frame with a resistance cannister in
between, The reisstance cannisters look like shock abssorbers and
you can dial in the the amount of resistance you want. I know all of
this may sound complicated but it is a pretty simple operation. I
transfer onto the seat from my wheelchair without using my sliding
board. I think they sell for around $5K. My insurance company paid
for it and I have had it for eight years. I am glad you ask about it
because I have been kinda lazy lately. You can see a picture of mine
