Welcome to the world of possibilities with the Rifton Multi-Position Stander, a versatile solution designed to meet the unique needs of children of all abilities.
Let’s delve into why it’s a game changer and how to use it effectively with different kids. The Rifton Stander isn’t just a stander, it’s a multi-position marvel. It can be configured as supine or prone, ensuring flexibility for children with varying abilities.
In the supine position, the Stander provides support from behind, accommodating children with less trunk and head control. This is often preferred for those with lower tone and strength. Medically complex children find comfort in the supine position. It not only offers easier access to ports, lines and leads, but also allows a gradual transition from horizontal to upright, enhancing weight-bearing benefits. The Supine Stander facilitates easier transfers, especially for larger users. Lateral transfers from a bed or reclined chair become seamless, thanks to features like swing-away laterals.
Now let’s talk about the prone position. Here the Stander supports the child from the front in a forward-leaning posture, making it ideal for children with more trunk and head control to participate in activities of daily living or other activities. Similar to the supine position, the Prone Stander features tilt options. This configuration allows for sit-to-stand transfers from a chair, ensuring close access to the wheelchair and serving as an excellent option for pressure relief.
The beauty of the Rifton Multi-Position Stander lies in its adaptability. Whether it’s providing support from behind or in front, accommodating different levels of control, or easing transfers, it empowers caregivers and enriches the lives of the children it serves. The Rifton Multi-Position Stander isn’t just a piece of equipment. It’ s a dynamic tool designed to serve the diverse needs of children with disabilities.
