ADJUSTMENT OVERVIEW:
The separate and combined adjustments are critical to the
effectiveness of the Peer Level Stander. 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 on -going
adjustment schedule be identified to meet the needs of
physical growth, decrease or increase in postural support,
and weight bearing activities.
Column Tilt (Pitch): Affects the child's orientation in
space, postural tone and distribution of weight.
Hip and Trunk Supports: Provide not only lateral, but
also anterior/posterior support. Although the hip
support should always be snug, the trunk support can be
graded to allow for lateral movement as the child
acquires increased trunk control.
Knee Supports: Knee blocks provide not only anterior
support, but can also change in angle to accommodate
flexion at the knees.
Foot Supports: The full Footplate was designed for a
level weight bearing surface. The 5 - Way Adjustable Foot
Supports can accommodate anterior/posterior
adjustment, leg length discrepancies, plantarflexion/
dorsiflexion, and rotation
Tray Height : Tray height adjustment can provide an
upper extremity weight - bearing surface (to assist with
head control), and a surface for activity placement. A
pitch adjustable tray is available for an additional charge.
