LUNAR ® Standing Frame

LUNAR ® Standing Frame – Safe, Adaptive Upright Positioning

 

The LUNAR® Standing Frame is an innovative medical rehabilitation device designed to enable safe standing and maintenance of an upright position for users who are unable to stand independently. Developed with a strong focus on safety, comfort, and intuitive operation, LUNAR® supports both users and caregivers through advanced engineering and smooth, stepless adjustment mechanisms.

Prone and Supine Standing

LUNAR® enables both prone and supine standing, allowing therapists to precisely adapt positioning according to therapeutic goals and the user’s current condition. This versatility supports muscle tone normalisation, balance development, and postural control across various stages of rehabilitation.

Lower Limb Extension and Postural Support

By promoting proper lower-limb extension, LUNAR® supports joint stability and correct posture. Controlled muscle stretching helps prevent contractures, dislocations, and hip joint dysplasia, contributing to long-term musculoskeletal health and functional outcomes.

Advanced Knee Joint Stabilisation

Independently adjustable knee pads—offering depth, height, and width adjustment—provide secure and comfortable knee joint stabilisation. Smooth, stepless regulation ensures precise positioning while minimising pressure points during extended standing sessions.

Precise Trunk and Pelvic Alignment

LUNAR® features independently adjustable pelvic and chest belts with rotational control, allowing trunk positioning in vertical, lateral, and rotational planes. This high level of adjustability accommodates individual anatomical and biomechanical needs, supporting improved balance, alignment, and motor function.

Smooth, Quiet, and Ergonomic Design

All stabilising components operate with reduced resistance, ensuring smooth movement, quiet operation, and minimised micro-movements. Ergonomic adjustment knobs and an intuitive layout make the standing frame easy to operate in both clinical and home environments.

A stable base with lockable swivel castors allows for safe positioning and effortless relocation between rooms, while the lightweight, compact construction enables use even in smaller spaces.

🔹 Indications

Recommended for users with:

• Cerebral palsy (all types and forms)

• Brain and spinal cord injuries with limb paresis, balance, or coordination impairments

• Demyelinating diseases (e.g. multiple sclerosis, ALS)

• Muscle diseases with paresis or paralysis (e.g. muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, polymyositis)

• Genetic syndromes with limb paresis

• Degenerative and metabolic diseases of the nervous system

• Degenerative and rheumatic joint diseases

• Meningocele

• Post-traumatic brain or spinal cord injuries, including quadriplegia

 

🔹 Contraindications

User observation is required during standing therapy. Therapy must be discontinued if paleness, sweating, fainting, joint overload, or abnormal body deformation occurs.

Absolute Contraindication

• Critical medical condition of the user

Relative Contraindications

• Resting arterial hypertension > 200/110 mmHg

• Pulmonary hypertension

• Cardiac rhythm disorders

• Unstable asthma or metabolic disorders

• Moderate heart valve disease

• Conditions preventing weight-bearing (e.g. healing fractures, severe osteoporosis)

• Postoperative joint load restrictions

• Pain caused by excessive pressure, tissue stretch, or dislocation

• Significant hip, knee, or ankle joint contractures

Users with cardiovascular, respiratory, or metabolic impairments require close monitoring, including blood pressure, heart rate, and signs of orthostatic hypotension.
