The patented Therapy Victory Chair (TVChair) has been designed to provide standing support for people of limited mobility who are otherwise wheelchair bound. Known as a stander, this type of equipment is widely accepted as an integral portion of home therapy for various injuries and afflictions affecting muscle and joint mobility or motor functions. And when use of a stander is prescribed by a physician or physical therapist for long-term rehab or development, in many cases, the cost of the standing frame will be paid by the participating insurer.
Extended immobility accounts for many complications in the disabled, such as hip dislocation, ulcerations, osteoporosis and overall body function and muscle weakness. The TVChair assists the user to obtain a standing position, thereby reducing and alleviating many of the harmful effects of their disability and prolonged immobility.
Among the many benefits of standing with the TVChair, the user gets better balance and range of motion, improvement in posture, strengthening of muscles, and reduction of joint stress. Breathing and circulation are also greatly improved,as well as the ability for internal organs to better function and the body to digest and process more normally.
The psychological benefits of obtaining and maintaining a standing position are almost immeasurable for a disabled person. A sense of accomplishment, increased endurance, feeling of independence and ability to greet others at eye level (and even give hugs), provide an important component to overall well being.
Originally designed for the inventor’s son with cerebral palsy, this frame can be easily adjusted to accommodate a child or adult. The TVChair is unlike other standers which use a mechanism to bring the patient to an upright position, but instead is designed to build leg and upper body muscles and balance as the patient brings him/herself to a standing position.
From children whose structural development would be otherwise hindered from prolonged inactivity, to a temporarily disabled adult in rehabilitation, use of the patented TVChair stander provides the tool for invaluable health, lifestyle, and emotional improvement.
