User Guide

PREFACE:

These pages provide information to professionals for the

set up and use of the Prone Stander. The Mulholland

Standing Systems are designed to provide individuals

requiring prone, vertical, or supine standing, precise

postural control at the upper trunk, pelvis, knees and

ankles. All standers adjust from prone to vertical to offer

therapists the opportunity to provide graduated weight-

bearing to promote more normal tone distribution and

stability, and selective extension of the spine. Standers also

stimulate head

righting, weight

bearing on the forearms

and mid

line hand use. Standing provides an additional

opportunity for peer socialization and interaction, and

upper extremity activities should be an integral part of the

standing program.

PRECAUTIONS:

Standing should always be prescribed by the child's

physician with recommendations for the duration,

frequency, and contraindications.The standing program

should be closely monitored by the child's therapist.

USE

OF THE STANDER SHOULD BE UNDER DIRECT

ADULT SUPERVISION AT ALL TIMES.
