Introducing the EasyStand Glider for Active Standing
Active standing technology in the Glider enhances the many health benefits of a passive stander.
The Glider is the only stander that combines lower-body range of motion with upper-body strengthening while the user still receives all the health benefits of passive standing. The Glider actively promotes movement of the ankles, knees and hips creating greater range of motion, increased respiration and cardiovascular endurance. Active weight bearing on the long bones is increased while gliding and the user experiences increased cardio circulation.
The gliding mechanism facilitates lower extremity movement fore and aft. Adjustable resistance cylinders allow the user to start with minimal resistance and tailor an active standing program to their strength level, adjusting as it increases. Glider handles allow an attendant to assist in movement, which is especially important for new users.

EasyStand Glider for Easier Transfers
The Easystand Glider model, with a wide seat, as well as flip-up kneepads make transferring between a seated and standing position easier. A positioning bar is available to provide a secure grip and if needed, a patient lift can also be utilised to transfer a user into the standing frame.

Adjustability & Customisation
Whatever height and ability of the user, the Glider is easy to customise and make bespoke to your needs. Whilst the user is standing, they are able to alter the resistance cylinders themselves, with twelve different resistance settings available. The depth of the seat, angle of the back, kneepad and footplate height, as well as handle height are all easy to adjust to suit the user’s needs.
EasyStand Glider for Active Standing
The benefits of the active standing design used in the Easystand Glider are upper body strengthening and movement in the lower body, this is what makes the Easystand Glider stand out from a normal passive standing frame.
Active standing technology enables the user to move a handle with their arms (a carer is also able to) which then creates the reciprocating movement in the legs.
The Glider seat has hinged detachable sections, one for each leg, so to permit the full extension of the limb whilst standing.
Advanced active standing technology contributes towards medical benefits achieved through standing and keeps the body in shape for further medical improvements. This has been confirmed in several research programs which suggest that the use of an active standing frame, such as the Easystand Glider, can positively contribute towards an individual’s health
