ADJUSTMENT OVERVIEW:
The separate and combined adjustments are critical to the
effectiveness of the Prone 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, reduction 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 Foot Plate was designed for a
level weight bearing surface. The 5 - Way Adjustable Shoe
Holders can accommodate anterior/posterior adjustment,
leg length discrepancies, plantarflexion/dorsiflexion, and
rotation. The 6 - Way Adjustable Shoe Holders do all of the
above, plus pronation/supination
Tray Height : Tray height adjustment can provide an
upper extremity weight - bearing surface (to assist with
head control), and a surface for activity placement.
