Many children with cerebral palsy or other disabilities that make standing unaided difficult use a stander. Reported benefits of standing include a decrease in the incidence of contractures and fractures. Individuals who cannot sustain full weight on their legs while they are straight can experience appropriate alignment of the spine, hips, knees and ankles while supported in the Kaye Vertical Stander.
The Stander is designed to accommodate children 18 months up to 9 years. The Stander offers a variety of supports for positioning, including pelvic stabilizers, a posterior cushion and pads at the knee to help users attain and maintain knee extension. Removable and adjustable shoe clamps and a thoracic support are also available to aid with positioning. An optional tray, caster base, extension rod, leg abductor and lateral leg supports are available.
