PREFACE This booklet provides information for the set up and use of the OMNITM. Supported standing can stimulate head-righting, weight-bearing on the forearms, and mid-line hand use. Standing also provides an opportunity for peer socialization and interaction, and upper extremity activities, which should be an integral part of a standing program.

ASSEMBLY Tools Required: 5/32 , 3/16 , 1/4 allen wrenches Tape measure Adjustment Levers: Refer to figure 2. The adjustment levers can be ratcheted so the handle can rotate without affecting the tightness of the screw. 1. Pull up lever to disengage. 2. Rotate the handle so it is not obstructed. Figure 2 3. Release and let the handle slide back and lock with the screw. 4. Continue tightening/loosening the screw by rotating the handle and repeating steps 1-3 as needed. Ball Lock Pins: Refer to figure 3. 1.
Step A: Connect the cable Refer to figure 5. 1. Screw the free end of the cable into the tilt bar (1) by turning the cable. Once the cable end has been full screwed in, tighten the ring bolt (1) to secure. 2. Attach the base of the tilt bar to the frame brace. Tighten bolt. 1 2 Figure 5 Step B: Connect the side frames to the column Refer to figure 6. 1. Loosen adjustment levers (1), on the top of the frame supports (2) . 2.
Step C: Attach the Frame Brace to the Side Frames Refer to figure 7. 1. Remove the hex head screws (1) and the washers from the ends of the frame brace. 2. Position the frame brace between the side frames so the side frames fit within the curve of the end fittings and the holes align. Figure 7 3. Insert a screw with a washer through the aligned holes of the C2 C1 side frame and frame brace. Tighten secure the frame brace, ensure the side frame is Figure 7 seated snuggly within the end fitting.
Refer to figure 9. 1. Remove the allen screw from the bottom part of the upper column. 2. Slide the upper column down into the lower column. 3. Line up the holes in the upper and lower columns (1). 4. Insert the allen screw (1) and tighten. 1 Figure 9 Step F: Adding the Mobility Kit Refer to figure 10 (steps 1-3) and figure 11 (steps 4-10). Figure 10 1. Attach the brake clamp (1) to the frame support with four 3/4 allen screws (2) so a circular opening is formed.
the wheel plate. Do not tighten completely. 6. Attach the lower edge of the wheel plate with two 1 allen screws. Insert a washer through each of the screws between the screw head and the wheel plate. Insert a set of four washers through each of the screws between the wheel plate and the frame support. 7. Tighten all of the allen screws. 8. Repeat for both the left and right side frames. 9.
Step H: Check the Knee Block Position Proper knee block position is critical for correct column tilt. Refer to figure 13. Figure 13 2 1 1. Measure from the center of the knee block clamp (1) to the bottom edge of the column pivot (2). This is A in figure 13. A 2. Acceptable ranges for the previous measurement (A): OMNI 1: 3.5 to 5.5 OMNI 2: 4.5 to 6.5 3 3. If the knee block clamp is within the acceptable range for your OMNI size, no adjustments are necessary. 4.
ADJUSTMENT OVERVIEW The separate and combined adjustments are critical to the effectiveness of the Standing Systems. The therapist is encouraged to try various adjustment combinations to find the optimal position for weight-bearing, tonal balance, and head-righting. It is further recommended that an ongoing adjustment schedule be identified to meet the needs of physical growth, reduction, or increase in postural support and weight-bearing activities. Adjustments: 1.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS Measurements: The following measurements are required for proper fitting: 1. Heel to the iliac crest (hip bone): _______ This will be the distance from the footplate to the top of the hip support on the stander. 2. Heel to axilla (under arm): _______ The distance from the footplate to the top of the trunk support on the stander. 3. Heel to the lowest point on the patella (knee cap): _______ The distance from the footplate to the middle of the knee block. 4.
MAIN COLUMN ADJUSTMENT Refer to figure 15. For measurements see Fitting Instructions. Note: Never make any adjustments with the child in the stander. 1. Measure from the middle of the knee block to the foot support plate (Adj. 1). Raise or lower the footplate to the correct height (measurement 3). Loosen the two inner allen screws on the footrest mounting bracket (1). Slide the foot support along the main column. Tighten the screws. 2.

TRAY ADJUSTMENT Refer to figure 16. 1. Height: Loosen the two allen screws (1) and slide the tray along the upper column to the desired height. Tighten the screws. 2. Depth: Loosen the two knobs (2), located underneath the tray. Slide the tray along the tray bar to the desired depth. Tighten the knobs. 3. Angle: Release both hand knobs (3). Rotate the tray about the tray mounting bar to the desired angle. Make sure the teeth on the angle locks mesh. Lock the cams.
KNEE BLOCK ADJUSTMENT Refer to figure 17. 1. Angle: Loosen the adjustment lever (1). Rotate the knee support bar (2) until the knee pad is at the appropriate angle to support the knees. Repeat for both sides. 2. Depth: Loosen the adjustment lever (1). Slide the knee support bar until the knee pad is at the correct width to assist in the alignment of the lower extremities. 3. Tighten lever (1) after completing steps 1 & 2. Repeat for both sides. 4. Height: Loosen adjustment lever (3).
FOOT SUPPORT ADJUSTMENT Refer to figure 18. 1. Leg Length Discrepancy: Loosen the allen screw (1), the outer screw on the mounting bracket, for the shoe holder which needs to be lowered. Lower the shoe holder, by lowering the shoe holder support bar (2), to accommodate the lower leg. Tighten the screw. 2. Abduction: Loosen the screws (3), located on the footrest mounting brackets underneath the shoe holders. Adjust the width between the shoe holders by sliding them along the footrest bars (4).
OPTIONAL CONFIGURATIONS Always remove the child from the stander before alterations are made. Prone Stander w/o Mobility Kit: Refer to figure 19, figure 20 (step 2), and figure 21 (steps 3,4). 1. Remove the drive wheels: Depress the button in the center of the quick release while pulling the wheel off the frame. Remove both drive wheels. Refer to figure 8 of the Assembly Instruction. 2. Remove the drive wheel plates (optional): Loosen and remove the four screws (1) so the wheel plate (2) can be removed.

Slide the sternum pad assembly off the upper column. b) Attach the supine neckrest by sliding the track stud (2) into the front track of the upper column. c) Tighten the adjustment lever (3), on the neckrest assembly, to secure the neckrest. The track stud must be completely within the front track.
2. Move the tray (refer to figures 26 & 27): b) Release both hand knobs (5) then lift the tray off the tray mounting bar. c) Replace the tray on the opposite side of the upper column. d) Retighten the hand knobs to lock the tray in place. e) The tray must be removed to place the child in the supine stander. 3. Move the foot supports (refer to figure 28): c) Loosen the four allen screws (6). Slide the foot supports off the footrest bars. d) Rotate the foot supports to face the opposite direction.
Neckrest Support System (Prone): Refer to figure 29 & 30. Figure 29 Attaching the neckrest support system to the OMNITM: 1.

Pivoting the shoulder pads: The shoulder pads can be released and pivoted out of the way while placing the child in or removing the child from the stander. Pull the ring on the back of the plunger pin to release the pivot. To open, rotate the shoulder pad away from the column until the pivot locks. Repeat for both sides.
PLACING THE CHILD IN THE STANDER 1. Always lock the stander before putting the child into it. Lock both drive wheel brakes on the OMNITM, if the Mobility Kit is being used. If using the system as a prone or supine stander lock both rear castors. 2. The child s therapist should identify whether one or two people are required to transfer the child to the stander. 3.
