Standing at eye level with the other children in the room changes what a session feels like. The Rifton Mobile Stander is a prone standing frame on wheels, so a child who cannot bear weight independently can be supported upright and still move around the classroom or the living room.
Prone standing does the clinical work you would expect: bone density, circulation and postural control, with weight loaded through the legs rather than the seat. What matters here is that the child is not parked. They can push, turn and join in, which is usually what keeps a standing programme running long enough to be worth anything.
It comes in four sizes, from a small child in early intervention through to an older user, and it is designed for clients who spend the rest of the day in a wheelchair. Standing practice here also builds toward independent standing rather than just filling a slot in the timetable.
