How does the Tek RMD compare to other mobility devices on the UK market?

The Tek RMD distinguishes itself from other mobility devices through its unique design philosophy, functionality, and target user needs. This doesn't mean that it is the perfect choice for everyone. Individuals with weak or paralysed limbs will ultimately have different physical abilities and functional goals. The Tek RMD allows individuals who are suitable to use it, to stand and move in their environment and to do this in a way that will enable them to do more than if they just were using a standing frame. They can stand for lengthy periods, interact at eye level with others and uniquely engage in their environment. We know that standing is good for health but most candidates for the Tek RMD or standing wheelchair want to do more.

Choosing the right product requires thoughtful consideration. It’s important to assess each option’s physical suitability while carefully evaluating its strengths and weaknesses in relation to the user’s functional goals.

How to Equip the Tek RMD for Outdoor Use

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.

How the Tek RMD is tailored to you

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.

In this article we cover what measurements we use to adjust the Tek RMD to the individual user
