A standing frame has foot-positioning means 16 pivotally mounted on mounting blocks 12 so that it can tilt forwardly and rearwardly about a transverse axis of the apparatus. The foot-positioning means is provided with a longitudinally adjustable heel stop 20 and foot straps 32 and 36 to hold the patient's feet in position. Upstanding swing arms 24 are also pivotally mounted on the outside of the mounting blocks 12 and a knee bar 26 extends between the upper ends of the swing arms. The position of the knee bar is adjustable longitudinally, being suported by means of telescopic stays 28 and 30 extending between the arms 24 and the foot positioning means. The standing frame may be used to dispose the patient's feet and lower legs suitably in order to concentrate motor learning on the knee and hip joints. IMAGE
