Standup!! The EasyStand Evolv

Standing can sometimes be an underappreciated ability. While often unappreciated, it is a crucial component of our every day, overall health. I’m sure you’ve heard stories of astronauts in space that experience zero gravity for long periods of time losing bone density and muscle mass and this is directly related to standing under gravity. As we age, the ability to stand can be compromised, so how do we achieve this necessary ability to keep our bodies healthy and strong? The answer may be the Master Evolv standing apparatus. We here at HPFY can give you the information you need to decide if it is right for you.

Benefits of Standing

The ability to stand is incredibly important to our bodies. Everything can be affected from circulation to digestion to even bone density can be negatively affected for those who don’t have the ability to stand. A standing frame, such as the EasyStand Evolv, can give those with disabilities many of the benefits of standing safely. These benefits can include:

1. Circulation improvement: Standing can help improve circulation with respect to orthostatic hypotension.
2. Posture: Being able to stand improves overall posture by aligning the hips and spine. Standing can also lessen progressive scoliosis.
3. Urinary Drainage: By standing, the bladder and urinary tract can drain better and improve renal function.
4. Prevents Pressure Sores: Changing pressure points and shifting positions helps those who are seated for long periods of time.
5. Improved Bowel Function: Our bowels function better with the aid of gravity and standing gives us that benefit.
6. Improved Muscle Tone: Studies of shown that regular standing can improve muscle tone and reduce dependency on medication.
7. Maintain Bone Density: While improving bone density is debatable, the EasyStand Evolv standing frames can help maintain existing bone density.

Patients who utilize a wheelchair for mobility and those with disabilities who don’t have the ability to stand independently can all benefit from a standing frame such as the EasyStand Evolv. Not only can they benefit physically, but they can also have psychological improvements such as increased self-esteem and social development.
