STANDERS
Standing is one among the foremost complicated things that humans do:
SAGE standers are adjustable so they can be customized to a wide variety of angle
Standing frame is a assistive technology that allows a user Supported standing position. Standing helps to form the hip joints and the normal curves of the trunk/spine. Standing also stretches out the muscles around the hip, knees and ankle joints and helps to prevent these joints from becoming stiff. Other various benefits to the children physical and cognitive development, including increment in bone density.
Standing can be performed in different positions. For each position Different Kinds of Special Needs Standers are required:
- Stand prone (tilted forward),
- Upright or Vertical standing (Supported front)
- Supine (supported behind)
Although each position offers you something special, all of them offer greater weight bearing through your legs which helps to strengthen your bones. Standing is very important for physical and social skill learning.
VERTICAL STANDING
SAGE Vertical Stander is best for the user who require support in standing but have head control and developing trunk control.
SUPINE STANDER
Supine standers put children within the lying position by angling backwards, with support behind the kid.
PRONE STANDER
Prone standers keep children in a prone position (Support on the front body) to encourage weight bearing throughout the legs and arms, with the supports against the belly.

The Different styles of Special Needs Standers
Adult and pediatric standers are available an enormous sort of styles, with most types defined by their standing position.
Prone standers keep children in a prone position (Support on the front body) to encourage weight bearing throughout the legs and arms, with the supports against the belly. The angle position of the stander can be adjusted with the user against gravity. Prone standers are best for children with good head strength and decent trunk strength. Also, a reasonably symmetrical spine and full hip extension are indicated when considering a prone stander.
- Support on the front body (anterior support for standing).
- Angles Adjustable from upright Forward towards the horizontal.
- Tray is typically necessary for a support surface for the arms.
- Great Position to perform on active head control.
Supine standersput children within the lying position by angling backwards, with support behind the kid. Supine standers angle the user backwards with weight bearing through the heels. They also place the user on their backs, providing full body back support. When users need support for his or her heads and/or trunks against gravity, supine standers are recommended.
- Support on the rear (posterior) of body.
- Angle adjustable from upright backwards towards the horizontal
- Tray is optional
- Great position if user has minimum head control.
Vertical standers are an option for those that need an upright standing angle. The SAGE Vertical Stander is suggested to be used with children with special needs who require support in standing but have head control and emerging trunk control. Best fitted to minimally to moderately physically involved children, the SAGE Vertical Stander provides upright support and vertical alignment while still enabling freedom of movement for the head , trunk, and upper extremities in all directions.
- Support at front of body
- Fix Standing angle
- Tray at front
- Great Support if user have head control and emerging trunk control
