Some clients cannot get themselves to standing, and the position that works for them changes with the day. The Rifton Stander is a multi-position frame that supports a child or adult upright, prone or supine, so one piece of equipment covers a standing programme instead of committing you to a single posture.
The benefits of standing are well documented: bone loading, circulation, digestion and postural control. The reason families keep using it is simpler. The person is up, face to face with everyone else, taking part rather than watching from a seat. Adjustments are straightforward enough for a parent or a teacher aide to manage once we have set the frame up for the client.
Three sizes cover small children through to adults. The frame stands where it is set up, so it suits a standing programme in one place, at home, at school or in the clinic.
