PLACING CHILD IN THE
STANDER:
1.
Always lock all four casters before putting the child in
the stander. This is done by stepping on the lock levers.
2.
The child's therapist should identify whether or not one
or two people should be required for the standing
transfer.
3.
Placing the child's feet on the foot supports, slowly lift
him/her into the stander, fastening the hip straps first,
then the trunk straps. After checking for proper
alignment and weight bearing, fasten the buckle straps
on the hip and trunk supports, the foot supports, and the
knee straps.
4.
The child should be directly supervised at all times.
5.
Provide a table or socialization activity while the child is
standing.
6. Observe closely for signs of fatigue, distress or
discomfort and remove the child within the prescribed
period.
MAINTENANCE:
1.
Keep the stander clean. The metal and plastic parts can
be washed with a mild concentration of dish soap (the
same as you use on your dishes). Rinse with water and
dry. Wipe down all of the upholstered parts with a damp
cloth.
2.
Check weekly for frayed straps and Velcro. For the
child's safety, discontinue use of the stander until worn
Velcro and straps are replaced.
3.
Periodically check for loose screws and tighten them as
needed.
