New! Stander

Benefits:

The health benefits of supported standing for children with disabilities have been widely recognized for years. Consider some of these important areas:

• Maintain or increase bone mineral density for prevention of fractures.
• Reduce spasticity, provide stretch to the muscles, and improve range of motion as part of your child’s postural management routine.
• Improve posture by keeping the spine in alignment.
• Improve hip joint health and development, with the option for placing the legs in abduction during weight-bearing. This can help to reduce pain and improve overall health and well-being.
• Improve engagement with family and classmates to encourage psycho-social development.

Now, all these benefits are available in Rifton’s ground-breaking lineup of newly imagined three-way standers that can be configured in prone, supine, or upright. It is, truly, a whole new world.

Our first entrant in this all-new lineup, size one of four, is specifically designed for early intervention. It’s the only stander of its type that adjusts in height down to the floor to allow peer-to-peer socialization and participation and then up to table height for activities there (plus easier transfers). It allows precise positioning in every imaginable configuration, quick prone-to-supine switching and back, plus – of course – Rifton’s legendary tool-free adjustments.

We will offer four sizes for a wide range of users.
