Ensuring the safety and comfort of a child in prone positioning is not just about having the right supports but placing them in the right spots. Let’s explore the importance of correct support placement with the Rifton Stander.
When a child is in the prone position, the key is placing critical supports in precise locations. Safety is our top priority. Critical straps in the prone configuration include the pelvic harness, with the center strap always attached for added safety. Additionally, the trunk strap and sandal straps play crucial roles in maintaining proper positioning.
Beyond the essentials, the Rifton Stander offers optional supports to cater to various positioning needs and situations. Let’s talk about trunk support. Depending on the amount of support needed, you have the option of choosing between rotation-control and the standard trunk strap. Prone knee straps are available for added support, ensuring the child’s lower limbs are positioned comfortably and securely. Trunk laterals are another valuable option. They provide extra support to the trunk, maintaining stable and comfortable prone position. For additional customization, consider lower extremity laterals. They offer support where needed, ensuring a well-balanced and secure positioning.
With the Rifton Stander, it’s not just about having supports. It’s about having the right support in the right place.
