Supine Stander

Details & Specs for Supine Stander

In supine standing frames, clients can stand at eye level with their peers. Adjustable supports on the standing aid allow for functional alignment, with the client's arms free for activities.

Positioning someone with disabilities in a standing position is the first step to facilitating bone and muscle development and maintaining range of motion in addition to encouraging better functioning of the body’s internal systems.

Optional accessories are available to tailor the standing frame to your client's positioning needs. Supine standing provides many therapeutic benefits, including head support with partial weight-bearing.
