A stand device which includes a lift mechanism for raising paraplegic patients from a wheelchair to a standing position. The stand is mounted on caster wheels and includes a platform on which the feet of the patient are received. The lift mechanism includes a pair of electric actuators and a linkage which raises and lowers a pair of lift arms upon extension and retraction of the actuators. The lift arms carry a sling which is drawn behind the patient to lift him to a standing position on the platform when the actuators are extended.
