A stand-up lifter is used when a patient or client needs assistance to lift their weight when standing to transfer and can be one of the more complex patient manual handling procedures. A stand-up lifter provides the patient/client the assistance they require and allows them to maintain a certain level of strength and dignity. The stand-up lifter is used for transfers and the distance a patient/client is moved should be minimal.
