Who will benefit from the Biodex Sit2Stand™ Trainer...
Ideal for strengthening the lower extremities of weakened, older, or sedentary patients/residents, or for cardiac rehabilitation, where standing from a seated position without reliance on the upper extremities is crucial.
| Biodex Sit2Stand Provides Accommodating Assistance |
 |
| The assistance profile of the Biodex Sit2Stand corresponds with the sit-to-stand force output providing more assistance where one is weaker, and less assistance where one is stronger. |

Sit-to-Stand… the most fundamental motion for functional independence.
One of the most fundamental motions required to maintain/sustain a greater quality of life is the ability to stand from a seated position. Performed many times throughout the day, this biomechanically demanding movement requires more lower extremity joint torque and range of motion than walking or stair climbing.1
Wellness
Preserving the ability to rise from a seated position is crucial for maintaining independence. The Sit2Stand Trainer is easy to use with conveniently located adjustment levers for seat height and assistance, and biomechanically positioned arm supports. Wellness members can utilize the device with minimal supervision, strengthening both upper and lower extremities, important for maintaining independence.
With attention to detail in the biomechanics of the sit-to-stand motion and the therapy process, the Biodex Sit2Stand™ is designed to allow the therapist full access to the patient to train and reinforce strategies for the sit-to-stand motion while providing the patient a safe environment.
In addition to lower extremity strengthening, the Sit2Stand™ contributes to upper extremity strength gain. Upper extremities often compensate for lower extremity weakness, which can lead to upper extremity pain. There is a correlation between increased leg strength and reduction in shoulder problems relating to the sit-to-stand motion.2
By varying seat height and foot position, the patient will learn the effects of body position and joint angle to control center of mass and the role of momentum in rising.3 The large, comfortable contoured seat with pivoting backrest articulates naturally to correspond with pelvic tilt during sit-to-stand motion. Adjustable start and end seat position accommodates varying amounts of hip flexion and orthopedic conditions.

Physical Rehabilitation
Provides a safe setting for a patient to move through the seated to standing motions, either independently or with a therapist’s guidance. By repeating the motions, a patient builds both lower and upper-body muscular strength and endurance, improves flexibility and ultimately gains independence.

The Biodex Sit2Stand Trainer Helps You to Help Them. Trunk flexion – the momentum allows for a weight transfer to initiate the lift off. Lift off and extension – pelvis moves from an anterior to posterior tilt, and the lower extremity extensor muscles of the ankle, knee and hip are all progressively engaged as needed by the counterforce. Stabilization – reach a stable, upright position. |

“I think the [Biodex Sit2Stand Trainer] helps me when I’m sitting anywhere... on a chair or a sofa. It has helped me to be able to get myself back up. I used to do this exercise at home on a regular dining room chair but this is much better. I love it.”
