Enjoying Standing & Independence

Whenever my wife, Desiree, and I go on trips, my stander is among one of the top things that I can’t wait to get home to.

I have had T-5 paraplegia since July 7, 2003. Among the medical equipment that makes my life easier is the Evolv Mobile stander. I originally had the EasyStand 5000 and upgraded to the EasyStand Evolv about 6 months ago. The Evolv Mobile standing frame improves my overall quality of life! It is so nice to have things that make my life ‘normal.’

I experience endless benefits from standing including (but not limited to) decreased spasticity, increased circulation, temporary relief from my nerve pain, and most importantly my independence! I love that I do not always have to rely on other people to get me things. With my old standing frame I was just stuck in one place while I stood, because it did not have the mobility option.

I am a religious stander! Sometimes I stand for hours at a time. With my EasyStand Mobile standing frame I am able to wheel myself around anywhere I want to go. I like to wheel outside on the driveway to enjoy the weather.

Another thing I can do much easier is prepare meals for myself in the kitchen. I can move about the kitchen to the cupboards, refrigerator, and stove. I am able to stand right above the stove as opposed to having the flame on the stove right near my face. I also play games, read, eat and relax in my standing frame. Without it I would be hurting. Whenever my wife and I go on trips, my stander is among one of the top things that I can’t wait to get home to. I am thankful to have this helpful equipment!
