Why use a Dynamic Stander?
To promote upright interaction
With the Dynamic Stander, children who are unable to stand independently can be safely supported in an upright yet mobile position, facilitating interaction with peers and the environment.
To improve weight-bearing, weight-shifting, and trunk control
The Dynamic Stander can be used to promote development of the motor skills necessary to increase independence in standing.
Self propulsion in the Stander stimulates the vestibular system, cerebellar input for balance, and somatosensory cueing – all of which leads to improved trunk control and righting responses.
Weight bearing within prescribed limitations in an upright position has been shown to be beneficial for strength, bone mineral density, intestinal motility, postural control, tone reduction, musculoskeletal development, pulmonary function, and integumentary integrity.

It’s great for a wide range of kids
Available in five sizes, the Dynamic Stander is designed for children and adolescents from 25" to 65" tall, from 50 to 175 lbs.
It’s ideal for users with Spina Bifida, Muscular Dystrophy, Cerebral Palsy, Traumatic Brain Injury, Leg Amputation and other conditions that limit standing ability.
It’s easy to incorporate into daily activities.
- One: Caregiver and child work together to actively transfer into the Dynamic Stander from a seated position. We’ve designed our extra wide deck to help the child actively participate in the sit-to-stand process.
- Two: Secure the seat pad and positioning straps for safety and comfort.
- Three: The Stander easily rolls right up to counters or tables on its smaller casters, so the child can stand unencumbered for table projects or stationary activities.
- Go! When the large wheels are in place, the child can freely self-propel the stander using the wheel rims – indoors or on level surfaces outside.
