New! Multi-Position Stander Device

The ability to stand changes how people experience the world

Standing transforms lives

For children and adults with disabilities, the opportunity to stand—whether upright, supine or prone—brings new opportunities for interaction, development, and dignity. That’s why we designed the Rifton Stander: a versatile, supportive, and easy-to-adjust multi-position stander that meets a wide range of positioning needs.

Why Standing Matters: Benefits of a Special Needs Stander

The benefits of standing are well documented. Whether used as a prone stander, supine stander, or upright pediatric stander, our device supports essential health and developmental outcomes:

  • Promotes bone health by maintaining or increasing bone mineral density.
  • Reduces spasticity, stretches muscles, and improves range of motion.
  • Encourages better spinal alignment and posture.
  • Supports hip joint development with optional leg abduction for comfort and alignment.
  • Facilitates eye-level engagement and social interaction with peers and family.

With this stander device, individuals gain the physical and emotional advantages of upright participation in daily life.
