Providing physical development and greater social interaction
The physiological benefits of standing are enormous - not to mention the psychological benefits of being able to tackle activities in an upright position, participating at eye level alongside peers.
Prone Standers allow for physical development and greater social interaction - enabling clients to experience the world more fully while building strength for the future. This Prone Stander provides anterior support and stability while encouraging weight-bearing and use of both hands and arms. Fully adjustable, Prone Standers can "grow" with clients as their skills develop.
The Benefits:
- Therapeutic benefits of standing:
- Provide hip alignment through comfortable postural supports

Benefits of using the Prone Stander:
- Adjustments are easy to make
- Optional accessories enable therapists to customize the supports to a client's needs

Why use a Prone Stander?
- For upright social interaction: The Prone Stander offers users the opportunityto be at eye-level with their peers and participate in class activities while still being supported adequately at the trunk.
- For improving head and trunk control:
The prone tilt of the main board
engages the pull of gravity on the head and upper trunk cueing the use of the neck
and trunk extensor muscles in maintaining an upright head position. The main board
can also be lowered to increase postural challenge to the upper trunk.
- To minimize extensor tone:
The prone tilt of the main board engages the pull of
gravity to counteract extensor tone and thrust.
- For pressure relief:
Great temporary alternative to wheelchair positioning relieving
pressure on the ischial tuberosities and other areas susceptible to skin breakdown.
- For gradual increase in weight-bearing:
The zero to 85° angle adjustment
makes it easy to monitor and adjust the rate and amount of weight-bearing the user
can manage comfortably.
- For better hip extension and alignment:
Hip range of motion and integrity
can be maintained in the prone position with the firm anterior support and the
abductor options.
