Have you see the Tek RMD yet? It's been described as a "moving standing frame" or the "Tek RMD wheelchair". It's not really a standing frame or a wheelchair actually, but it has some of the attributes of each.

A Tek RMD can allow persons with weak or paralysed legs to move easily between a seated and a standing position and then allow them to move around in their environment. Being narrower than a wheelchair it is easy to move around indoors and doesn’t take up so much space.

For most people that choose to use a Tek RMD they can enjoy a great standing posture and greatly increase their ability to stand during the day which we all know is good for health. Sitting in a wheelchair can be efficient to move around but the posture is not exactly health-giving.

In this article with video we see how to change the Tek RMD from indoor to outdoor trim

The Tek RMD is a great use of robotic technology. The product allows persons with lower limb paralysis or weakness to get out of their wheelchair with very little effort, and then stand in a great posture whilst being able to move around. It’s not an alternative to a wheelchair or a replacement for a wheelchair but it does offer a unique complement to one. Sitting in a wheelchair all day is not great for health and standing is obviously desirable in many practical and social situations.

What is not so obvious at a glance is that each Tek RMD is capable of being adjusted to suit a wide range of statures. The cosmetic bodywork covers the means to adjust the product and we cant generally make major adjustments on site.

Of all the products that assist people with a disability, wheelchairs seem to cause the most difficulty and confusion. There are so many options and variations that many people finish up with something that doesn't serve them all that well.

Standing mobility devices are an option that can transform the lives of individuals with mobility challenges in the UK, offering a newfound sense of freedom, independence, and well-being.

When choosing a standing mobility device - a Tek RMD or a standing wheelchair, you need to carefully consider suitability. There are no perfect products for all people and all situations.

Standing is an essential human function that allows us to explore and interact with our environment. It is also good for our health. However, for individuals with mobility impairments, or lower limb paralysis, standing regularly and safely can be a challenge. Fortunately, with advances in assistive technology, standing is now possible for many people, even those who cannot stand on their own. Many products - both simple and complex exist to help people stand despite their disability. Many times, people find it hard to embrace a standing regime, due to boredom. What if technology existed that allowed standing to be combined with moving around?

One such technology solution is the Tek RMD; a robotic mobilisation device designed to help individuals with mobility impairments stand and move around with ease in their environments. In this article, we will explore the importance of standing and how the Tek RMD allows individuals to achieve this, both indoors and outdoors.
