Stand at eye level with your peers
In our supine standing frames clients can stand at eye level with their peers. Adjustable supports on the standing aid allow for functional alignment with the client’s arms free for activities.
Positioning someone with disabilities in a standing position is the first step to facilitating bone and muscle development and maintaining range of motion in addition to encouraging better functioning of the body’s internal systems.

Benefits:
Our bodies were made to be upright. Standing delivers enormous health benefits that everyone should enjoy. At Rifton we like to speak of the six B’s that benefit from standing: bones, breathing, blood, bowel, bladder and brains.
Optional components are available to tailor the standing frame to your client’s positioning needs. Supine standing provides many therapeutic benefits including head support with partial weight-bearing.
We offer two sizes for a wide range of users.
Note: The large Supine Stander was formerly called the TranStander.
Features
Rifton Supine Standers enable vertical standing for adults and children with physical disabilities. Using a vertical stander can strengthen core muscles and improve weight-bearing, weight-shifting and trunk control. Additionally, they promote upright social interactions at the same eye-level as a client’s peers.
Fold down the top of the Supine Stander for a user who needs to learn head control.
The laterals slide out of the way to aid transfers. Laterals adjust easily: they slide in, out, up, down and rotate.
The armrests move up and down the frame or tilt at varying angles to encourage upper body control. They fold down when not needed.
Small Supine Stander: Angle adjustment is calibrated from 0° to 85° for accurate positioning.
Large Supine Stander: Angle adjustment is calibrated from 0° to 85°.
The small Supine Stander is 28½” high when horizontal.
The large Supine Stander makes transfers easy. The manual crank raises and lowers the stander from 21″ (wheelchair height) to 30″ in the horizontal position.
Double-locking casters prevent roll and swivel during transfers.
The sturdy, curved frame gives plenty of foot room to the caregiver and allows close proximity for transfer in and out of a wheelchair, or other equipment.
The footboard adjusts to bring client up to a comfortable height for the caregiver.
Components
The tray has a smooth, cleanable working surface with rounded corners. The angle of the tray can be changed by adjusting the armrests.

A pair of sandals positions the feet correctly on the footboard of the Supine Stander and can be adjusted to fit the client’s needs using wedges to raise heels or toes. Configure them yourself with the unique “stack and latch” feature. For different leg lengths combine two wedges under one sandal.
Sandals:
small: 3″ x 7″ medium: 4″ x 9″ large: 5″ x 10½”
Wedges:
small: 3″ x 1¼” x 7″ medium: 4″ x 1⅜” x 9″
large: 5″ x 1½” x 10½”
Wedges can be stacked to change the height and angle of each sandal.
