Some children need to stand but cannot hold their own head or trunk steady enough to do it upright. The R82 Caribou works in prone, upright and supine, so you can start a child where they can tolerate it and move through positions as strength and tolerance build.
That range is what makes it useful in a standing programme. Prone supports head lifting and reaching, supine takes the load off a child who fatigues quickly, and upright brings them to a working height for play, table activities and being part of what everyone else is doing. Weight bearing, posture and participation all come from the same piece of equipment.
For the carer, the easy tilt mechanism does the work of changing position and leaves both hands free for the child, which matters when you are the only adult in the room. Accessories swap over without a fuss, so a frame set up for therapy in the morning can be reconfigured for a different task in the afternoon.
