Standing Frame
As a full–time wheelchair user, I think that a standing frame would be greatly beneficial for me. Does anyone regularly use a standing frame? Is it enjoyable, or is it a ton of effort to use?

I use one and it’s enjoyable and easy for me to use. I recommend everyone to get one.

Matt, Starla used a standing frame daily. I or her parents would put her in it and make sure everything was secured right, and she would stand about 45 minutes to an hour, take a break by sitting down for about 15 to 20 minutes, then stand again at least 30 minutes. She liked to stand anywhere from an hour and a half to 2 hrs a day. Its really good for your circulation and a whole lot of other things. The only thing Ill point out is it does get boring…She had very limited vision and at the end of her life was legally blind, so I bought her a CD walkman and she would listen to audio books with headphones while she was standing and Id keep track of the time. This was great for her.
