PEER LEVEL STANDER ADJUSTMENTS:
Note: The columns on these standers telescope up from the
foot support. This allows the child to stand as close to the
floor (peer level) as possible.
NEVER MAKE ANY OF THESE ADJUSTMENTS
WITH THE CHILD IN THE STANDER!
Foot Support
: Initially, measure from the foot support
to the knee pad and lower or raise the foot supports to
the desired height (floor to mid
-
knee measurement) with
the push pin (fig 12A). Note: Fine tuning instructions for
the Foot Supports to follow.
Trunk Support
: Removing both push pins (B & C) pull
the column up to the correct height for the chest support
and put trunk pin (B) in place. Place the chest support
(D) to approximately the level of the child's clavicles.
Note: This is not
a chin rest.
Hip Support
: Pull the hip support up to the desired
height (heel to iliac crest measurement) and replace the
pin (C).
Hip and Trunk Support Widths
: Loosen the black
knobs (E) and slide the bars to the appropriate width
(you may need to loosen the straps).
It is very
important to make sure that the outsides of the bars
are an equal distance from the mid
-
line of the
column. If they are not, the child may not be weight
bearing evenly.
Tighten the knobs and re
-
velcro the
inside strap. This will be adjusted later as part of the
"fine tuning" while the child is in the stander. Complete
this adjustment for both the trunk and hip supports.
