What about braces instead of a standing wheelchair? Quite often, we encounter wheelchair users who originally were prescribed braces in rehab. Many times (according to them), those braces are ill-fitting, or simply too cumbersome to put on and use daily. Most users tell us that even when they wear their braces, they can not use their arms in a productive way. Braces, generally, are not very functional. The end result is that frequently the braces (after 30-60 days) are not used and are then stored in the basement or garage. This is very unfortunate for the disabled user AND the funding agency. Because the COST of braces and their weeks of expensive training has been wasted! One of the best things about the SuperStand Wheelchair is that, as a SINGLE PIECE of equipment, it easily and efficiently replaces SEVERAL related pieces of equipment (a traditional wheelchair, a standing frame, and braces). In this instance, less (equipment and cost) is more!
