Healthtec Dynamic Standing Frame

Description

Standing frames can be used for children who are unable to stand independently, to keep their body in good alignment and posture.

They are designed for use with children aged between 3 and 12 years and are lightweight, height adjustable, and have a non-slip base.

Inclusion Possibilities

• Increase opportunities to participate independently with peers in experiences where children are standing
• Can be used for individual and/or group experiences
• Supports the child’s body allowing the upper limbs to be free for use
• Enables the child to experience the environment at the same level as their peers

Things to consider

• Use of standing frames should only occur for periods of time where the child’s peers are also standing
• Educators should consult with therapists and parents about appropriate timeframes for use
• Educators need to plan how standing frames will be used within the care environment to maximise children’s participation in the program and interaction with peers

Storage and use

• This equipment can be used outdoors but must be stored indoors to minimise surface damage
