Description

Sturdy and Adjustable: The stander has a durable frame with four adjustable support points for the chest, pelvis, knees, and feet. These points can be individually adjusted to accommodate a child's height and specific positioning needs.
Included Tray: The system comes with a tray that is adjustable in both height and angle, providing a surface for activities like eating, playing, or schoolwork. This helps the child engage with their environment.
Mobility: It often includes casters for easy movement, which can be locked to provide stability during use or transfers.
Promotes Postural Control: By supporting the child from the front, the stander encourages the development of neck and upper trunk extensor muscles, which are crucial for head control and overall posture.
Versatile Positioning: The stander's angle can be adjusted from a near-horizontal position up to a more upright, near-vertical position. An angle indicator allows therapists to document the exact position for consistent therapy.
Latex-Free: The product is typically manufactured without natural rubber latex, which is important for individuals with latex allergies.

Therapeutic Standing: The primary use is to provide the therapeutic benefits of a standing position for children who are unable to stand independently.
Physical and Occupational Therapy: Therapists use the stander to help children work on balance, weight-bearing activities, and improving lower extremity alignment.
Developmental Benefits: Standing provides numerous health benefits, including:
- Preventing muscle contractures in the hips, knees, and ankles.
- Promoting bone density and bone health.
- Improving circulation, respiration, and digestive functions.
Engaging in Activities: The prone stander allows a child to be at eye level with their peers and engage in activities with their hands free, promoting social interaction and participation in daily life.
