This is the kind of service the taxpayers are recieving in that state! Makes one wonder what your state is doing with the money?

Well I wonder what would it take to get all of this equipment to those who need it?? This is such a huge waste and there are so many who need it.

Aww Lynnie it's no wonder we loves ya so much! Thank you for the links, it makes it so much easier to understand the equipment.

Yikes, you don't??? Okay, anyone got a second clue??

I haven't the first clue on this one.

Most of the prone standers are designed so that you can add a tray on so the person has something to do while they are in the stander.

[Note: Updated 2/24/08]:Sorry - the Rifton link was outdated so I had to change it. Here is the current Rifton prone stander with an attached tray:

Here are some more fantastic pieces of equipment - dynamic standers:

And finally, this is a fabulous videotape of people actually using a lift:

Motts is the rock star. Janice, it's true that he really does play drums in a metal band!

And yet in another decade or two we'll talk about how horrible all this "primitive" equipment is. ;-)

That's how new this piece is, Jude, that it has velcro on it. They don't usually leave behind equipment this new and in this good a shape. I am thinking about all the folks who could use good adaptive equipment like this and can't afford it or don't have the right insurance.

It's a prone stander.

Tee hee! "Chia carpeting"! 8`-) Do they still sell those horrid "chia pet" things?
So all the green stuff on the floor is moss? How thick would you say it was, Motts?

Hopefully they donate this stuff to the hospitals who need them.

were they building rockets?
