New! Stander

The ability to stand changes how people experience the world

Features

Use the slides below to learn more about the features of the New Stander, such as how to adjust the standing angle and height to achieve a better level of postural control for your client.

Base frame

  • The two locking, 8" side wheels located near the center of gravity of the user, with the two casters to the front and back, provide excellent maneuverability and stability for the base frame.

  • The open design of the frame is ideal for transfers and access to surroundings.

  • The unique base frame design allows for full abduction even when the user’s feet are close to the floor.

  • Foot operated brakes on each of the two side wheels aid with transfers and safety.

  • The frame has clearance for a mechanical lift to aid with supine transfers if desired.

  • The rear caster functions as an anti-tipper when the product is loaded and provides a smoother ride over doorsills, ramps and uneven floors.

Body support

  • The body support is a large, padded area, supporting the user’s pelvis and trunk, and is the base for several important straps and lateral supports.

  • The Stander body support shown in use.

  • Because of the numerous adjustments and the capacity to accommodate various sizes of user, it is important to position the user at the correct height in the product – with their hips on the body support pad near the level of the “HIP” indicator.

Caregiver handle

  • The caregiver handle allows easy maneuvering, even while the user is in the product. It can be quickly adjusted up or down to be positioned at a convenient height, or out of the way below the the multi-position tray.

  • The caregiver handle facilitates easy maneuvering of the Stander.

  • The position of the handle can be adjusted using the knob near its attachment point.

  • In prone standing when the tray is in use, the handle can be adjusted down out of the way.

Height adjustment

  • For the size 1 Stander: the column allows 6" of height adjustment of the product, assisted with a locking gas spring.

    Varying sizes of users can be positioned at an appropriate standing height – either with their feet close to the floor to be at the same level as their peers, or higher to reach a table for activities.

  • For the size 2 Stander: the column allows 14" of height difference, adjusted with a hand crank.

  • When the frame is lowered, users can interact at eye-level with their peers.

  • With the frame raised, users can access activities and environments.

  • Height adjustment also helps make transfers easier.

    When lifting a small child into the supine stander it may be easier to have the body support adjusted higher.

Independent hip abduction

  • The Stander supports 0°-30° of independent hip abduction. Adjust abduction by using the knob behind the hip.

  • Research has shown that weight bearing in an abducted position can improve hip joint health and development during childhood, particularly for children at risk of hip displacement.

Tilt adjustment

  • The padded body support can tilt 90° from horizontal to fully vertical.

    Adjust the Stander to the ideal angle for each user.

  • Adjust the angle by squeezing the double safety trigger on the caregiver handle, which releases the locking gas spring.

    The continuous adjustment locks in any position when the trigger is released.

  • Adjust the body support to the most comfortable angle for each user.

Hip flexion and depth adjustments

  • The optional advanced leg supports allow independent hip angle adjustment, 0°-45° forward and 0°-45° back, to promote hip joint development. The hip depth adjusts independently as well.

    Only available for the Size 2 Stander.

  • The hip flexion and depth adjust independently to the ideal position for each user.

    Only available for the Size 2 Stander.

Knee flexion adjustment

  • The optional advanced leg supports allow independent knee angle adjustment, 0°-45° forward and 0°-45° back, to accommodate contractures. Separate upper and lower leg length adjustments ensure that users with leg length discrepancies can be comfortably supported.

    Only available for the Size 2 Stander.

  • The knee flexion adjusts to the ideal position for each user.

    Only available for the Size 2 Stander.

Adjustable sandals

  • Sandals provide secure foot support with a heel cup (adjustable in length) and two straps over the foot, each of which closes with a strong, magnetic buckle.

    The sandals adjust forward and back and rotate using the knob underneath.

    When transitioning between prone and supine, the sandal rotates 180°.

  • Ankle plantarflexion and dorsiflexion adjustment in a total of 30° is allowed by the knob on the outside of the sandals.

  • The sandals shown in use on the Stander.

Room for growth

  • With options to adjust overall height plus individual components, this stander accommodates growth and a wide range of sizes.

Supine features

  • Headrest

    At the top of the upper trunk support is the padded headrest, which provides posterior support for the user’s head, and allows the attachment of optional head laterals for those requiring more support.

  • Upper trunk support

    The upper trunk support fastens to the top of the body support for supine configuration.

    Adjust the height of the upper trunk support with the two white triggers behind the body support.

  • Arm supports

    The padded arm supports are mounted permanently on either side of the upper trunk support. They provide padding under the arms for supine position.

    A knob behind the attachment point allows each arm support to swing up out of the way behind the headrest during transfers.

    In supine standing, when the tray is in use, the arm supports provide an “elbow block” function when needed.

  • Trunk laterals

    One pair of padded lateral supports is provided, and can be used at the lateral trunk, or lower down at the lateral pelvis area.

    The white trigger where the lateral support inserts into the side of the body support allows adjustment in width, while the white button on the lateral support itself allows it to flip away for transfers.

    The knob on the lateral support allows some individual height adjustment of each pad.

  • Supine knee straps

    Anterior support for the knees is critical in supine standing.

    The padded knee straps clip onto the leg supports at either side of each knee.

    The split knee straps provide an opening for the patella and can be tightened securely by pulling the strap ends.

  • The Stander in supine configuration, shown in use.

Prone features

  • Trunk laterals

    One pair of padded lateral supports is provided, and can be used at the lateral trunk, or lower down at the lateral pelvis area.

    The white trigger where the lateral support inserts into the side of the body support allows adjustment in width, while the white button on the lateral support itself allows it to flip away for transfers.

    The knob on the lateral support allows some individual height adjustment of each pad.

  • Pelvic harness

    The pelvic harness is a five-point, padded support. It provides support behind the user’s hips to maintain the standing position.

    For correct use and ideal support, tighten the lower side straps first to get the harness low and snug under the user’s hips before adjusting the other straps.
