The No-Table Option can replace the standard table on the

The casters are not designed for outdoor use.

fit under the base of the EasyStand for side transfers.

wheelchair.

without the standard table. The no table option allows for this.

The secure foot option holds the foot into the footplate. This is
necessary if you have severe spasms or have drop foot and require
the footplate to be in the downward position.

get into the EasyStand. How do we do it? |

The other option is the swing away table sleeve that moves the table
out of the way while transferring.
