PREFACE
This instruction manual provides information to professionals for the set
up and use of the Rocket Stander. Supported standing can stimulate head -
righting, weight - bearing on the forearms, and mid - line hand use. Standing
also provides an opportunity for peer socialization and upper extremity
activities, which should be an integral part of a standing program.
DESIGN GOALS
The Rocket Stander was designed to provide individuals requiring prone,
vertical, or supine standing, precise postural control at the upper trunk,
pelvis, knees, and ankles. Adjustment from prone to vertical to supine
offers therapists the opportunity to provide graduated weight -bearing to
promote more normal tone distribution and stability, and selective
extension of the spine.
PRECAUTIONS
1. Standing should always be prescribed by the child s physician with
recommendations for duration of standing, frequency and
contraindications. The standing program should be closely monitored
by the child s therapist.
2. The stander should be used under direct adult supervision at all times.
3. Do not use for transportation.
4. Use stander only on level surfaces.
5. Observe load limits on product label.
