EasyStand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
EasyStand is a brand name of sit-to-stand standing frames for disabled kids and adults. EasyStand standers are manufactured by Altimate Medical Inc. (AMI), based out of Morton, Minnesota.
The EasyStand was invented by Alan Tholkes, a C6-7 quadriplegic.
AMI has successfully created a niche market for the EasyStand by helping disabled people in over thirty different countries to stand. The company assists people with a wide range of diagnoses, such as spinal cord injuries, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injuries, strokes, and more.
