About

NeoStand is an innovative, electric standing wheelchair designed for users with tetraplegia and limited upper body strength. It allows users to transition from sitting to standing with a push of a button, offering both health and psychological benefits by facilitating standing, reducing secondary health issues, and enhancing social participation. It is a compact, user-centric solution aimed at improving the quality of life for individuals with mobility impairments.

How it works

NeoStand combines manual and electric systems to assist users in standing. It features a battery-powered actuator for smooth transitions and a seating system for comfort. The wheelchair is equipped with safety features such as wheel locks and chest harnesses for stability.
