Pediatric and Adult Standers for Mobility Support
Upright Positioning for Better Health and Function
Pediatric standers and adult standers are assistive devices designed to help individuals with limited mobility achieve an upright standing position when they are otherwise confined to sitting, prone, or supine positions. Standing frames support greater interaction with the environment while promoting overall health and functional well-being.
Health Benefits of Standing Programs
Regular use of a standing frame can provide a wide range of clinically recognized benefits, including improved bone density and skeletal development, support in managing scoliosis progression, and enhanced cardiovascular endurance. Standing also promotes better circulation, reduces swelling, and can support healthy bowel, bladder, and kidney function.
Additional benefits include maintaining or improving range of motion, reducing the risk of pressure injuries, minimizing muscle atrophy, and decreasing joint and muscle contractures. Consistent standing routines can also improve trunk and lower extremity strength while helping manage pressure points through regular position changes.
Support for Children and Adults with Mobility Limitations
Standers are available in both pediatric and adult models to accommodate users at different stages of life and levels of mobility. These systems help individuals safely achieve upright positioning, encouraging participation in daily activities and improving quality of life.
