Product Spotlight: The EasyStand Evolv

Welcome to the first in our series of Product Spotlights, where we take a deep dive into the unique features and benefits of the EasyStand range of standing aids. This month we’re focusing on the ever-popular EasyStand Evolv mobile standing frame, an innovative and highly-customisable product trusted by healthcare professionals across the globe.

Below, we’ll take a close look at the Evolv and what makes it unique, examining each of its key features in detail. Interested in learning more about the Evolv or booking a demonstration? Don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team today.

So, what is the Evolv and what makes this standing frame so special? Price-wise, the Evolv sits in the middle of the EasyStand range, in between the Strapstand and the Glider – but like those other products, the Evolv is unique and innovative in its own right. This mobile standing aid is all about safety, flexibility and ease of use, employing a modular design to ensure that each and every user is comfortable and secure at all times. Let’s take a closer look at some of the Evolv’s standout features.

Three different sizes to suit everyone

No two individuals are the same, and the Evolv range is built for everyone. That’s why three different sizes are available, named Medium, Large and XT. The Medium model suits those weighing up to 200 lbs and measuring between 4’0″- 5’6″ in height, the Large version is suitable for those between 5’0″- 6’2” and weighing up to 280 lbs, and the XT is designed for individuals who are 6’0″- 6’10″ and weigh up to 350 lbs. Each model has a different seat depth range too, making the sit to stand transition safe and comfortable for everyone.

Built with rehabilitation in mind

For those undergoing rehabilitation therapy, the EasyStand Evolv is perfect. Those with a sufficient range of motion are able to fully extend their hips and knees while in the standing position, and can safely bear their full weight on the long bones of their legs. Those who don’t currently have a large range of motion are able to stand in a partially weight-bearing position, aiding their recovery gradually.

The ultimate in safety

The EasyStand Evolv standing frame was designed from the outset with safety as a core priority. That’s why it features a robust three-point safety system, with a built-in seat, knee pads and chest pads providing ample support in every position. Users are able to transition between sitting and standing at their own pace, safe in the knowledge that they’re fully supported at all times.

Superior comfort

The Evolv is designed to inspire confidence and facilitate independence. As a result, it has an array of features designed to keep the user comfortable in every position, including a padded seat cushion, back rest, knee pads and front pads. Optional Roho seat cushions and pads provide an even greater level of comfort – ideal for those with pressure management issues.

Endlessly customisable

Thanks to its modular design (and a vast range of optional accessories) the Evolv can be customised to suit each and every individual perfectly. From users with limited needs to those who require more support, everyone can get comfortable and reap the benefits of standing with the Evolv. More than 60 different positioning options are available along with accessories like the Shadow Tray (which provides anterior support during the transition from sitting to standing), a push-button Pow’r Up Lift system, swivel seats and swing-away front sections. Each of these accessories can be removed and reinstalled at any time, making the Evolv perfect for those with progressive disabilities (like MS and ALS).

Easy to use 

Despite its technical complexity, the beauty of the Evolv lies in its simplicity. For both the user and the carer, the Evolv is straightforward to operate. Standing is achieved in three steps – adjust, transfer and pump up – so it doesn’t take long to get acclimatised. The addition of a Pow’r Up Lift system makes this process even simpler.
