| Q. |
Can I use the
headrest off of my seating system on my
EasyStand? |

Yes, you would need
to order the Universal Head Support Receiver. The Universal Head Support
Receiver adapts to Whitmeyer Biomechanix, Stealth, and Otto Bock
Headrests. It is available for the EasyStand
7000,7500,
5000 Youth, and the EasyStand
5000. |
| Q. |

option? |
|
A. |
The No-Table Option
can replace the standard table on the EasyStand
7000,
7500,
5000 Youth or the
5000. Most people use it together with the Mobile Option to allow
closer access to cabinets and other hard to reach areas. |

EasyStand outside? |
|
A. |
The casters are not
designed for outdoor use. |
| Q. |
Can I use a lift to
transfer into your stander? |
|
A. |
Yes, many lifts can

Removable Back Option if you want to remove the back and transfer in
from the back. Many lifts can also fit under the base of the EasyStand
for side transfers. |

casters & mobile option at same time? |

| Q. |
Can I trade in my
EasyStand 5000 for an EasyStand 6000 Glider? |
|

a trade in. You may want to ask the dealer that you bought the original
EasyStand or sell it outright and buy the Glider. |
| Q. |
Why does the 5000 &
5000 Youth come standard with no back? |
|
A. |
Many people who stand
have good balance and do not need the back. |
| Q. |
How do I know that I
will be able to use the Mobile Option? |
|
A. |
If you can push a
manual chair, you should be able to push a mobile stand. The mobile
stand will not push as easily as a wheelchair. |
| Q. |
Can the No-Table
option be used without the Mobile Option? |
|
A. |
Yes. Some of our
customers require a larger table and will go without the standard table.
The no table option allows for this. |
| Q. |
What is the Secure
Foot Option? |
|
A. |
The secure foot
option holds the foot into the footplate. This is necessary if you have
severe spasms or have drop foot and require the footplate to be in the
downward position. |
| Q. |
My client needs to
use a Hoyer lift to get into the EasyStand. How do we do it? |
|
A. |
We have two options
that can make this easier. We have a removable back that will allow
entry from the rear of the EasyStand. The other option is the swing away
table sleeve that moves the table out of the way while transferring.

difficulties reaching the pump handle, but does have the strength to
pump up. What should we do? |

| Q. |
My client needs
assistance with transfers. Can he use the EasyStand? |

Back Extension without the Back Option? |
