Standing assessment

The only examination chair that also measures the foot under load

Most elevating chairs raise the client seated, with the legs stretched out and the feet floating in mid-air — convenient, but clinically incomplete. The foot only reveals its true behaviour when it carries body weight: arch collapse, hindfoot valgus, forefoot splay, pressure distribution, tendon loading and gait deviations all become visible only when the client stands.

Seated examination shows the foot at rest. Standing examination shows the foot at work. For pedorthists, podiatrists, orthotists and prosthetists, that difference defines the diagnosis.

How it works

How it works

A press of the foot switch raises the platform
1

Raise the client to working height

A press of the foot switch raises the platform in 15 seconds. While it rises, the consultation begins — complaints, progress, how things have been. By the time it reaches working height, the introduction is done.

2

Take position

Seated comfortably with legs under the platform. No kneeling, no bending, no searching for the right posture.

3

Treat in a natural, upright posture

Scanning, assessment and fitting performed with a neutral spine, arms supported on the platform, eyes at the correct distance from the treatment area. The client sits or stands — whichever the treatment requires.

4

Close the session

As the platform lowers, the specialist summarises findings, gives advice and arranges the next appointment. Those 15 seconds become part of the workflow, not a pause in it.

5

Move it where you need it

Orthostand moves easily on its wheels. Reposition it between rooms or clear the space when you need it, without effort.

Ergonomic benefits

What changes immediately

The Orthostand M30 brings the client up to the practitioner, keeping you upright and removing the load on your knees entirely.

By resting your arms on the platform, you also eliminate the static load on your lower back, neck and shoulders.

The result is a longer and healthier career.

  • Arms can rest on the platform, reducing static load on the shoulders further.
  • No more kneeling — tasks performed in an upright, supported seated position.
  • Eyes at a professional distance from the treatment area, every session.
From kneeling and bending low on the floor to working upright at the Orthostand — the same specialist, a natural posture

And better for the client

Clients use the stand supports to lower themselves onto the seat and rise again with full control. The adjustable seat provides a comfortable position. And because the specialist works upright instead of leaning forward, the client experiences more personal space during the treatment.
