Please post any picture, product, proposal, or idea, for any kind of mobility solution that is NOT a walker, and NOT used solely in a typical seated position.
These can be standing wheelchairs, wheelchairs with a high degree of anterior tilt, wheelchairs that recline flat, prone carts, forward leaning devices (sport motorcycle riding position), or anything that moves between these positions.
I'm trying to compile a list of odd ducks and see what can be learned from them. The odder, the better. The more detail about how they work, the better.
Here is an example of one such device.

I welcome any comments on the usability, ergonomics, or medical usefulness of such a device.
I like this one because it is still upright enough to allow forward visibility and allows some weight to be borne by armpits. Very curious how well the pedaling function works.
My need personally is for something that removes weight bearing on the lower spine. Most standing wheelchairs are not appropriate for me because they rely on knee blocks to bear a great deal of the weight and chest straps are only for stability. For a standing chair, I would need a torso harness attached to a strong chair back, so my lower half could "dangle". So, also looking for any upper body or underarm support harnesses. Maybe variations of climbing or fall arrest harnesses adapted for long term use.
