Struzzo

This device enables the user to assume and maintain an upright position, and to move around indoors independently without assistance from a carer. The user is lifted into a standing position by means of an electric motor operated by hand control, while the movement of the service tray accompanies the user along the lifting operation. The service tray has an anti-crushing safety system sensor which can be activated at any time by the user (accessory code AC0692). The aid is provided with a two-motor electric drive which allows unaided movement by using a joystick. The footplates are fitted with adjustable heel rests (accessory code AC0686).The adjustment of the height of the main structure, directly involving the setting of the knee supports and the service tray is motorized and operated by hand control. The trunk is held at both sides by two handles which can be tilted and adjusted in width. Back support is provided by a standard seat adjustable in depth. The whole system of adjustments allows to better suit the whole aid accordingly to the anthropometrical characteristics of the user. For further information, please refer to the section on options, accessories and adjustments.

END USER
This aid allows any careful paralytic person, with enough control of one hand, to enjoy the pleasure of moving around at fast pace speed while keeping an upright position, as well as having the access to high shelves and an ease of movement in narrow passages similar to normal. The upright position is reached by means of a motorized seat and also aided by the handle-thoracic support-service tray system which comes down when the patient is sitting down and offers a front support for the trunk of the patient when still sitting and holds him when coming up. If the person is not cooperative while transferring from the wheelchair onto the aid, it is possible to use a shaped pocket (accessory AC0048) which allows the seat to go under the anti-decubitus cushion without having to lift the user from the wheelchair. The shaped pocket can be used only with the long seat.
