WalkingRich Standing Frame

Donation protected
If your familiar with my journey your probably just as familiar with my pressure sores. For those who may not know I've been battling pressure sores for over 2 years, pressure sore comes from the blood flow being restricted to a certain area for prolonged amounts of time. Because I'm wheelchair bound it causes me to have to sit in my chair or on different furniture practically 16 hours out the day. The only time I'm not sitting in my chair is when I'm doing therapy or laying down sleeping. 

After considering different options it's in my best interest to invest in a standing frame, In order to continue to limit the amount of time I'm sitting upright. Although my pressure sore would be the main reason for the purchase of standing frame there are many otherhealth benefits of standing for paraplegics including:
-maintaining bone integrity
-Strengthen Cardiovascular System
-Improve Circulation 
-Reduce Swelling
-Improve Bowel Function
-Aid in Kidney and Bladder Function
-Management of atrophy in the trunk and lower extremities. 
-Manage pressure ulcers through Changing positions. 

Due to my open floor plan in my apartment I think it would be practical to invest in the standing frame that is mobile, meaning I can stand and practically move around the house in a standing position, this changes the dynamics of my life in such a unimaginable way. I would be able to cook, pick out my clothes, wash dishes, and reach high shelves/cabinets in my apartment.
