(PRWEB) March 25, 2007 -- Altimate Medical's new EasyStand Evolv Youth Glider features Active Standing Technology. Active Standing Technology provides lower body range of motion and upper body strengthening while standing. Previously only available for taller individuals, the new Evolv Youth Glider now accommodates individuals from 4'to 5'6".

Movement while standing helps keep the body in shape for medical breakthroughs. The EasyStand Evolv Youth Glider enhances the medical benefits of standing by offering safe, dynamic leg movement and therapeutic motion while standing. This advanced active stander allows users to move the glide handles with their arms (or a caregiver can assist) which creates a reciprocal movement in the legs.

The Evolv Glider features a tray that can be used while gliding, adjustable foot plates for knee height positioning, flip-up knees for easy transferring, and many support options. Individually adjustable cylinders can be adjusted by the user and provides them with twelve different resistance settings. It is an ideal choice for energetic youth or small adults.

For nearly twenty years, Altimate Medical has been making EasyStand® standing technology that improves the quality of life for kids and adults who use wheelchairs worldwide. To learn more about the EasyStand products visit www.easystand.com or contact Altimate Medical at 800-342-8968.
