Technical details

WHY USE THE ELLA?

Benefits for the client

Assisted standing programs are employed as part of the postural
management approach for children through to adults who are
unable to independently maintain well aligned standing or
who have limited mobility in the upright position.

With the Ella, everyday standing training is simple and easy.
Even the setup process is simple and with the initial
adjustment measures to done, the finalizing adjustments
can be done while the client is in the stander.

The user benefits from the versatile standard
functionality in a way that few products can match.
Standing height is close to what it would be naturally,
making interaction with peers easier.
This is made possible by the base structure with an open centre in the front.

Benefits for the therapist

Only one tool required for setup and adjustments.
The Ella is a reliable, low-maintenance stander,
with intuitive functions and simple adjustments.
Once a need is recognized, the Ella is easily adapted
to that specific need, saving time and effort.
The lifting height, meaning the height from the floor to
the support surfaces in horizontal position for client transfer
is optimized for easy operation, while maintaining
a good balance for the product in all standing angles.
The product foot print is small, saving floor space in use.

Switching between supine and prone setup does
not require replacement of any components.

The head rest is the only component separating the two.

SUPINE POSITION

We can use the Ella with the range of posterior supports
to allow the supine positions, useful for low tone, where
poor head or trunk control is a problem, encouraging
the learning of a more stable standing position, encouraging
a more upright position as tolerance and allows improves.

PRONE POSITION

We can use the Ella with the range of anterior supports
to achieve an active and dynamic position when in prone.

Research demonstrates that when positioned either in an
upright close to neutral position or tilted moderately in to
a prone angle we can maximise the benefits to spinal extension,
create benefits for increasing bone density and growth,
as well as providing an optimal position to allow a stretch
of the muscle mass, and play a part in preventing contractures.

Functional and implications participation is also maximised,
allowing interaction in multiple environments, home, classroom,
and otherwise, facilitating occupation in the prone position.

Details

Mobile, foldable base The base of the Ella is foldable for compact storage and transport. The upright column with supports all is easily lifted off the base and the folding mechanism requires only the loosening, not removing, of two screws. With four locking castors with ball bearings, the Ella is easy to move along the floor and over obstacles up to 3cm high Higher than that requires some help with lifting. The tilt is operated either by foot pedal and hands (manual) or a handset (powered) and is stepless, meaning that you can set the angle to any desired position between 0° and 90°. The height of the base is optimized for the foot rests to be as near to the floor as possible in upright position, while maintaining a low height for the column with supports when in horizontal position. Access to the patient is made easy by making the front of the base frame open and having indented bends on the sides. The open front also allows the center column, and therefore the foot rests, to reach lower toward the floor. Upright column The upright column is a custom-made aluminium extrusion with channels for attaching all the supports and accessories. The channels run through the full length of the column, allowing all components to be positioned freely, in relation to each other. Attachment of the upright column to the base is very simple, with drop-in slots and one to two tightening screws, depending on product size.

Foot rests The feet rest in sandals with two straps to keep the feet in place. The brackets, on which the sandals are attached, are used to position the sandals and adjust all angles as needed. Possible angle adjustments are flexion, dorsiflexion, supination, pronation (which enables leg abduction together with the width adjustment) and rotation around the upright axis, allowing the sandal to be turned around between supine and prone standing. The sandals have high edges on the sides and back to support the heels and to prevent slip-off. Knee supports The Ella comes with knee supports that are comfortable, quick to fasten and provide excellent support. Comfortable paddings around the knee are tightened and fastened with a strap that is very easy to fasten with one hand, while holding the leg with the other hand; a recurring situation when securing the client into the stander. The knee supports can be adjusted in width, height and angles for knee flexion as well as leg abduction. For extra leg control, an additional larger knee support can be attached above the original to control the thigh. This is especially useful in cases with a lot of knee flexion to relieve some of the pressure on the knee. The knee supports can be used as they are for both supine and prone standing, there is no need to turn around them in any way. Pelvic support The pelvic support is positioned, as the name suggests, at the height of the pelvis. The four different sizes are dimensioned for each size, although they can be used in cross-sizing. An optional de-rotational pelvic support is available, with the possibility to adjust the depth and around the angle lateral and vertical axis.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thoracic trunk support With additional padding on the top edge to add comfort in prone position, the thoracic trunk support differs from the pelvic support. As with the pelvic support, the optional de-rotational mechanism is also available for the thoracic trunk support, making the Ella exceptionally adaptable to any postural challenges. Belts A belt with good support and a comfortable fit is used for both pelvic and thoracic trunk control. The belt goes around the trunk inside the lateral supports, which allows for a firm fit and prevents rotation of the trunk. The belts have both hook & loop and buckle fastening, with 2-way adjusting in the front. Lateral trunk supports A range of lateral supports is available to further enhance the support of the trunk. Options vary from rigid to swing-away and swing-away flexible laterals. All are available in the standard inset version and a straight version, which allows some extra width adjustment for the pelvis and thoracic trunk. The flexi laterals curve around the trunk to provide a secure feeling with a soft, yet firm touch, replicating the support given by the handsof a parent or therapist holding the trunk. The swing-away mechanism makes transfers easier by swinging the lateral supports out of the way up to 180 degrees when getting the client either in or out of the stander. All lateral supports are individually height, width and angle adjustable around the anteroposterior axis. Tray For assistance in therapeutic activities, the Ella comes with a tray that is height, depth and angle adjustable. As an option, you can choose a tray with a bowl. The tray is made of moulded ABS and is available in 3 sizes.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Head rest Support for the head and neck is provided by a head rest. It is adjustable in height, depth and due to a ballrod fastening, in all angles. The head rest is available in 10" і 14" widths. The head rest hardware; vertical and horizontal bars, are adaptable with a wide range of commonly used special head rests. The horizontal bar can be replaced with any 12x12mm or ½ ½ x inch bar. Shoulder protractors Sometimes it is useful, or even necessary, to block the arms from throwing backwards and to push the shoulders forward. The shoulder protraction pads are width and angle adjustable, allowing the shoulders to be positioned as required. These are only used in supine standing. Chest harness brackets are included with the shoulder protractors. Chest harness brackets Using a chest harness will allow more control for the shoulders, by retracting against the thoracic trunk support and/or the shoulder protractors. As with the protractors, the chest harness is also mainly used in supine standing. While they are included with the shoulder protractors, the chest harness brackets are also available on their own. The set includes the brackets with cam locks as well as cam locks for the lower harness fastening on the top of the pelvic support plate. Tape Measure on upright extrusion For quick setup with multiple users for one stander, a tape measure on the side of the upright extrusion comes in handy. This allows the therapist or parent to position the supports to the correct height for a specific individual's setup. Tilt angle indicator To quickly gauge the angle in which the stander is tilted, a tilt angle indicator is available for sizes 1 through 3.
