ADJUSTMENT OVERVIEW

Proper adjustment of the Walkabout

will significantly

improve the child s success. The therapist is encouraged to

try various adjustment combinations. If the child

demonstrates primarily reflexive movements and postures,

adjustments should be made to increase the amount of

assistance that the stander provides. As the child s skill

improves, adjustments should be made to decrease the

amount of assistance.

Adjustments:

Column Tilt (Pitch): Affects the child s orientation in

space and can affect posture and tone.

Column Height: Affects the degree of assistance that the

stander provides (in addition to spring tension)

Pelvic and Trunk Supports: Provide precise proximal

stability. These components also provide some of the

fine tuning for trunk alignment and control.

Spring Tension:

Spring support can be increased or

decreased by turning crank (refer to Components section

for location).

Note: See the following pages for fitting instructions.
