Sit to Stand Lift Meets Rehabilitation with the Barihab S2S

TLDR:

A traditional sit-to-stand lift offers many therapeutic benefits to patients and therapists. It is an invaluable tool that provides safety and reduces injury risks during transfers. But their use is limited, particularly when it comes to larger patients. It does not address therapeutic exercise and true rehabilitation needs. This is where the Barihab™ S2S Standing Frame comes in. This revolutionary piece of equipment by Therapeutic Industries offers the ideal combination of a therapeutic standing frame with sit-to-stand lift.

When patients need assistance to stand, conventional lifts have become invaluable tools, as they offer safety and reduce injury risks during transfers. You can use this device to lift patients with less physical effort, and it is safer for the therapist and patient. 

What are the benefits of a sit-to-stand lift?

• Improved safety for patients
• More dignified toileting for patients
• Improved safety for caregivers
• Patients are able to continue to use their leg and arm muscles, which could delay physical decline
  
• Improved upper body balance and strength 
• Therapists can use certain models for gait and balance training 
• Easier for caregivers to use than total body lifts

However, traditional lifts are limited – they typically just transfer patients, which does not address therapeutic exercise and actual rehabilitation.

A New Class of Sit-to-Stand Therapy Tools

These traditional devices and standing frames each have a role to play in therapy settings at long-term care facilities and rehab hospitals. 

They primarily support safe patient transfers and daily activities. But consider if there was a type of equipment that provided the functional benefits of these tools but offered significantly more. What if it could combine the essential support of a traditional standing frame with the added functionality of a lift?

The Barihab™ S2S Standing Frame delivers the perfect answer to this challenge by unifying traditional lift capabilities with therapeutic functionality. As opposed to standard lifts, which only transport patients between seated surfaces, the S2S supports continual rehabilitation exercises within the equipment itself. By enabling patients to engage in weight-bearing activities safely, the S2S Standing Frame provides both immediate transfer support and sustained therapeutic benefits. 

 

What Therapists & Administrators Have to Say About the Barihab™ S2S Standing Frame

“We have been using it with literally ALL patients… what has really brought great advantage to us as therapists is the fact that we don’t need to take another therapist from their own treatment to assist the “max A” patients for standing activities”
-Tita Wright, PT 

Director of Rehab – Country Villa Pavilion

 

“With the Barihab equipment, we are able to stand residents and have them perform functional tasks at graded levels.”
-Jennifer Smith OTR/L. PAMS, SWC

Designed for Optimal Rehab Therapy

The S2S Standing Frame is designed with adjustable seat lift, backrest, and knee support. This revolutionary piece of equipment can accommodate patients with a wide variety of mobility issues. Therapists appreciate its ease of use and ability to manage multiple therapy modalities without the need for additional equipment or extensive manual handling. 

Because the S2S is designed with extreme versatility, therapists can seamlessly transition from sit-to-stand transfers to sophisticated exercises like balance training and weight-shifting activities – all in the same session. This multi-faceted approach promotes improved muscle strength, enhanced circulation, and greater range of motion. All of these factors play a part in hastening recovery and improving overall patient health. 

A Game-Changing Solution for Max Assist Patients

Conventional stranding frames typically don’t measure up when it comes to patients who require maximum assistance, meaning individuals who have limited strength, poor balance, or severe neurological impairments. The dynamic Barihab™ S2S excels in this role, as it offers comprehensive support through its powered lifting mechanisms designed specifically for patients who need maximum assistance. These features are also ideally suited for providing rehab exercises for patients of size.

With the S2S trademark features such as secure chest plates, knee blockers, and adaptable seat positions, even patients with minimal or no independent standing ability can safely transition into an upright, weight-bearing position. By allowing for long periods of standing, the Barihab™ S2S Standing Frame helps reduce common complications related to immobility. These conditions include osteoporosis, pressure ulcers, and urinary tract infections. By preventing these complications, the S2S enhances overall patient well-being.

S2S Standing Frame – Therapeutic Innovation 

The S2S Standing Frame not only improves therapy outcomes, but it also boosts patient confidence and independence, important psychological benefits that are often overlooked in conventional equipment. As patients experience the dignity of standing and moving on their own within a secure environment, their motivation and emotional well-being improve, leading to a faster functional recovery. 

What’s more, the Barihab™ S2S transforms from a standing frame to a compact mat table. This versatility supports a wide range of rehabilitation exercises in one device. This ingenious piece of equipment comes with a built-in electronic seat lift for sit-to-stand exercises, and includes back support and a leg lift to assist with smooth transitions. 

The removable transfer bars and knee blockers provide for added flexibility for mat therapy exercises. These components are easily detachable to customize the therapy session.
