Custom-Made Standing Frame
The Custom-Made Standing Frame is a specialised rehabilitation and assistive device designed to provide stable, supported standing for individuals with limited lower-limb strength, reduced balance, or difficulty maintaining an upright position independently. The standing frame features a strong black metallic structure, a supportive upper activity table, adjustable pink padded knee supports, secure foot positioning straps, and a reinforced standing platform. Its design helps maintain appropriate lower-limb positioning and provides external support during supervised standing exercises and rehabilitation activities.
Individually customised according to the user’s height, body measurements, physical condition, and rehabilitation requirements, the Standing Frame is suitable for selected children and adults with neurological, muscular, or orthopaedic conditions affecting their ability to stand independently.
Key Features
Custom-Made Design: Individually fabricated according to the user’s body measurements, standing requirements, and rehabilitation goals.
Strong Metallic Framework: Features a durable black metal structure designed to provide stability during supported standing.
Supportive Activity Table: Includes a flat upper tabletop that provides additional upper-body support and a surface for therapeutic activities.
Adjustable Knee Supports: Features pink padded supports designed to assist with knee positioning and lower-limb alignment.
Secure Foot Straps: Adjustable black straps help maintain the feet in the prescribed position on the standing platform.
Reinforced Standing Platform: Provides a stable base for supported weight-bearing activities.
Adjustable Height Mechanism: Features adjustment points for positioning the supports according to the user’s height and rehabilitation needs.

Important Information
The Custom-Made Standing Frame is a specialised rehabilitation device requiring professional assessment, fitting, and supervision by a qualified physiotherapist, occupational therapist, orthotist, or rehabilitation professional.
The appropriate standing position, duration, weight-bearing level, and support configuration depend on the user’s physical condition, joint mobility, muscle strength, and rehabilitation goals.
The frame should only be used when the prescribed supports adequately stabilise the user’s body. Additional pelvic or trunk supports may be necessary depending on individual requirements.
Individuals with significant contractures, unstable fractures, severe osteoporosis, orthostatic hypotension, or other conditions affecting safe standing require specific clinical assessment before use.
The standing frame should be placed on a firm, level surface, and users should not be left unattended unless a qualified clinician has determined that independent use is safe.
