UMD: Frames designed to help users remain in a standing, upright position. These frames typically consist of a rigid, metal framework with the center of gravity low enough for stability; they include upper bars for user support and bottom bars that provide traction even when the floor is slippery. Standing frames are available in a variety of configurations according to the intended purpose, such as help getting in and out of wheelchairs; some frames provide support (e.g., belts, foot straps, knee pads) to help patients maintain a standing position. They may include powered (e.g., pneumatic, electric) mechanisms to lower or raise the patient. Frames with appropriate sizes for use by children and adults are also available. Standing frames are not intended to facilitate a user's gait.
