Providing physical development and greater social interaction
The physiological benefits of standing are enormous – not to mention the psychological benefits of being able to tackle activities in an upright position, participating at eye level alongside peers.
Prone Standers allow for physical development and greater social interaction – enabling clients to experience the world more fully while building strength for the future. Our Prone Standers provide anterior support and stability while encouraging weight-bearing and use of both hands and arms. Fully adjustable, a Prone Stander can “grow” with clients as their skills develop.

Features
Adjust the height of the main board and footboard separately to achieve the best possible upright postural control for your client.
The 0° to 85° angle adjustment makes it easy to monitor and adjust the rate and amount of weight-bearing the user can manage comfortably. It can also be helpful if you are using the Prone Stander with multiple clients and need to protocol the stander angle necessary for each client.
The Prone Stander kneeboard can be removed for small children.
When the Prone Stander is vertical the footboard is almost at floor level making transfers easy.
The upright stander’s curved frame takes up less floor space and allows the caregiver to attend to a client without difficulty. The large (E950) Prone Stander frame is Hoyer® lift accessible.
Double-locking casters prevent roll and swivel during transfers.
Carmakers believe in the long-term benefits of baked-on powder coating. So do we.
Designed to stand up to wind and weather, our colors also conform to American and European toy safety standards.
Our Prone Stander is available in 2 colors: red and blue. This slide shows a red Prone Stander; swipe or click the arrows to view the Stander in blue.
