Locomotor Kelly Stand Active Hoist: Electric Sit-to-Stand Transfer and Weight Bearing Rehabilitation

The Locomotor Kelly Stand is a high-performance active standing hoist designed to facilitate secure transfers while actively engaging the user's muscles. This powerful battery-operated stand aid provides a simple transfer solution between seated surfaces while simultaneously working to maintain and improve the user's weight bearing ability. Engineered for safety and efficiency, the Kelly Stand has a robust weight limit of $203\text{kg}$ ($32\text{st}$), making it suitable for a wide range of clients.

Active Rehabilitation and Independence

Unlike passive hoists, the Kelly Stand is a dynamic aid that plays a crucial role in rehabilitation and promoting user independence:

• Promotes Weight Bearing: The standing motion actively encourages the client to bear weight through their legs, which is vital for maintaining muscle mass, improving circulation, and aiding rehabilitation goals.

• Unique Handlebar Encouragement: The ergonomically designed handle bars are positioned to encourage the client to push down and assist in the standing process, reinforcing their strength and confidence during the transfer.

• Stimulates Circulation: By facilitating regular standing, the hoist promotes healthy blood circulation throughout the body, reducing the risks associated with prolonged sitting.

Safety, Efficiency, and Caregiver Ergonomics

The fully electric operation and thoughtful design features make the Kelly Stand an essential tool for efficient and injury-free care:

• Eliminates Manual Lifting: The powered raising and lowering facility eliminates the need for care staff to manually lift clients, significantly reducing the risk of back injury associated with such tasks.

• Streamlined Care Tasks: The stand aid allows nursing and care staff to perform essential tasks like toileting, dressing, and changing clothes quickly and safely.

• Electric Leg Opener: The electrically operated leg opener allows the caregiver to adjust the width of the chassis effortlessly via push-button controls, enhancing manoeuvrability and speed around chairs and beds.

• Maintenance & Comfort Features: Includes a height-adjustable shin pad for optimal user comfort and positioning, and an actuator life counter to assist facilities with planned preventative maintenance and compliance.
