Rehabilitation Technology Applications
Comfort, Safety, and Mobility
Our innovative gas springs and dampers have become indispensable structural elements for many rehabilitation technology applications, helping many people become more independent and enjoy life more. Due to their compact dimensions, high level of operating comfort, and user safety, Stabilus gas springs are often the first choice when it comes to helping out patients and staff – and those are only a few reasons why.
Nursing home beds are used primarily for older people in need of care who spend a lot of time in a lying position.
To position them comfortably or to place them in a sitting position for eating or reading, these beds can be adjusted in a variety of ways.
Function
Stabilus gas springs allow comfortable and effortless adjustment of head and bed main sections in rehab beds. They will assist in the variable raising of the backrest and lock it in the desired position. The foot section can be locked rigidly at any tilt angle. During lowering, our gas pressure springs will protect the bed elements from moving too fast by damping their movements.
Your Advantage
- Reduced force required for tilting up slatted bed frame and mattress (3rd hand function)
- Individual adjustment of lying and reading positions according to personal preferences
- No EMFs, no fire hazard
- Mechanical actuation system, for no leaks
- Since it is fully self-contained, the bed can adapt to any change in location
Our Solutions at a Glance
- BLOC-O-LIFT – gas spring for variable adjustment
- HYDRO-LIFT – for variable incline adjustment of footrests in hospital, rehab clinic and nursing home beds
- LIFT-O-MAT – gas spring for optimal weight compensation during lifting and lowering
- STAB-O-SHOC – for speed-dependent damping
Patient mobility equipment, or scooters, help weak or handicapped people regain some of their mobility.
They are a reasonable alternative to conventional or electric wheelchairs. Our gas springs are highly useful when it comes to adapting the scooter to the physical condition of the rider, helping the rider get up and ensuring safety and comfort.
Function
With gas springs from Stabilus, the scooters can be quickly adjusted to the height and weight of the rider. The lift function will gently assist the person in getting up, the soft damping of the seat will relieve the spine and intervertebral discs, thus increasing ride comfort.
Your Advantage
- Steering column height adjustment
- Seat height adjustment
- Optimized damping for enhanced ride comfort and spine/vertebral disc relief
- Support for the getting-up function
- Opening of the battery box cover

- BLOC-O-LIFT – gas spring for variable height adjustment
- STAB-O-SHOC – dampers for absorbing shocks and motion
Older people often do not have the strength to get up from a comfortable seated position by themselves.
The lifting cushion of the armchair for seniors will help them master this situation on their own. Once rising from a seated position is no longer a climbing endeavor, sitting back will be even more enjoyable.
Function
Stabilus gas pressure springs help seniors maintain their mobility. The change between seated and resting positions, as well as the lifting cushion, can be activated with the push of a button. The chair will glide gently into the desired position. The backrest and foot section can be positioned variably and safely; their gentle spring action provides extra comfort.
Your Advantage
- No electric power required
- Comfortable and easy adaptation to the user
- No EMFs, no fire hazard
Our Solutions at a Glance
- LIFT-O-MAT – gas spring for controlled force assist in lifting cushions and dynamic damping
- BLOC-O-LIFT – locking gas spring for variable, locking height and tilt adjustment
- HYDRO-LIFT – gas spring for variable tilt adjustment
In rehabilitation after accidents and for disabled persons, lifting aids and walkers will help patients get up and walk, without their legs having to bear their entire weight.
Function
Gas springs will allow fast and individual height adjustments of walkers to the user. In lifting aids, gas springs will provide the force assist, supporting rehab staff and providing mobility even for heavier patients.
In walkers, the armrests can be set variably in different intermediate positions, depending on the height of the person; with locking gas springs, this is easy.
Your Advantage
- Fast adjustment to preferred height by the user

- BLOC-O-LIFT – gas spring for variable height adjustment
- LIFT-O-MAT – gas spring for optimum weight compensation during lifting and lowering
Variable height adjustability of the treatment table is one of the most important prerequisites for ergonomic and relaxed working of medical staff.
Precisely adjustable back, seat, head, and leg sections can optimally position the patient, contributing to the treatment success.
Function
Gas springs from Stabilus will safely and effortlessly bring the patient bed into the treatment position. The locking forces of our gas pressure springs are sufficiently high; no additional locking mechanisms are necessary.
If the bed is stressed beyond a preset load, the overload valve will open and the corresponding panel will yield softly.
Your Advantage
- Fast and individual height adjustment
- Variable and effortless adjustment of the back, seat, head, and leg panels
- Gas springs with overload protection, if necessary
- No EMFs, no fire hazard
- Mechanical actuation system, for no leaks
Our Solutions at a Glance
- BLOC-O-LIFT – gas spring for variable, locking height adjustment
- BLOC-O-LIFT – gas spring with tension override function as overload protection
- HYDRO-LIFT – gas spring for variable tilt adjustment of hospital bed foot sections
- STAB-O-SHOC – for force-assisted damping
