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.

  • Because of the numerous adjustments, and ability 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 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.

  • Height adjustment also helps makes 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

  • All Standers come with 0-30° of independent abduction for each lower extremity. Adjust abduction by using the knob behind the hip.

    Hip abduction while standing and bearing weight is critical for hip health.

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.

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 from prone to supine or vice versa, the sandal rotates 180°.

  • Ankle plantarflexion and dorsiflexion adjustment in a total of 30° degrees is allowed by the knob toward the outside of the sandal.

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.

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.
