Standing wheeled frames designed to help users remain in a standing, upright position when they are transported. 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, bottom bars mounted on casters, and brakes. Mobile 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 user support (e.g., belts, foot straps, knee pads) to help patients maintain a standing position. Mobile standing frames may include powered (e.g., pneumatic, electric) mechanisms used to move the frame with the user in a standing position or to lower or raise the patient. Frames with appropriate sizes for use by children and adults are available.
