PLACING THE CHILD IN THE STANDER
1. Always lock the casters on the stander before putting the child into it.
2. The child s therapist should identify whether one or two people are
required to transfer the child to the stander.
3. Place the child s feet into the shoe holders and slowly lift him into
standing.
4. Fasten the hip strap (velcro) first, then the trunk strap (velcro).
5. Check for proper alignment and weight bearing.
6. Fasten the buckle straps on the hip and trunk supports, the buckle
straps for the shoe holder, and the velcro straps on the knee supports.
7. The child should be under direct adult supervision at all times.
8. Provide a table top or socialization activity while the child is standing.
9. Observe the child closely for signs of fatigue, distress, or discomfort.

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, which may need
replacement. For the child s safety, discontinue use of the stander until
worn velcro and straps are replaced.
