Stable construction, ergonomic knee supports, wide pelvic and chest belts are the basic elements ensuring safe upright standing. However, the most important thing is the manual drive feature which allows independent movement without assistance. Furthermore, the patient, who is placed in this device, feels safe and secure and is able to perform rehabilitation treatment as well as simple domestic or professional activities Please note that only the active engagement accelerates the process of reengineering and positively influences the patient s psyche, moreover, it allows him to participate actively in social and family life.
