About Supine Standers
A supine stander starts in a flat position with the user on their back. A variety of supports can be added in this starting position that will provide necessary assistance once they are upright. The angle of the stander is adjustable to allow you to gradually tilt the user into a standing position. This allows you to slowly introduce the feeling of standing and change how much weight the user puts on their feet. Some standers are combination standers and offer the supine function as one of multiple ways to use the equipment.
In general, supine special needs standers provide the most postural support and are the most appropriate choice for users who have poor head control and need complete assistance to be supported in a standing position. Supine standers tend to be easier for parents and caregivers to load and unload children because of the relatively flat position that the stander can be positioned in.

Consider:
• A caregiver is required for transfers & positioning any necessary supports or moving the stander into a standing position
• A child can use the stander to support their head and trunk
• Can benefit from stander accessories to support all body parts
• Can gradually get used to standing, having weight on their legs and being upright if this is a challenging activity
• Usually requires the addition of a tray to participate in play or activities while standing
About Prone Standers
A prone stander can vary in its starting position from flat to inclined. In this style of stander, the user is positioned on their belly facing the support surface. Similarly to the supine stander, the caregiver can change the angle of the stander to move the user to a variety of degrees of upright for standing. Some standers are combination standers and offer the prone function as one of multiple ways to use the equipment.
In most cases, a prone stander benefits a user who needs to be cued to lift their head and participate in an activity on a tray. There are some prone standers that can be outfitted as mobile or dynamic standers allowing users to move around a room with hard surface floors.

A sit to stand stander offers the ability for a child or adult to experience a more natural transition into a standing position and eye-to-eye interaction with their peers. The stander can be progressed from a seated position to standing with the flexibility to stop at any point along the way. This is achieved either with soft sling support or a more rigid seat support. These styles offer the most opportunities for a stander to participate in transfers, positioning, and elevation of the stander.
Some sit to stand models can be outfitted with a mobile kit that allows a child with good upper body strength move the stander around a room with hard floors such as a classroom, gym, kitchen, etc. Standers can be fitted with hip and trunk pads, straps, and head rests to provide appropriate support for children with high and low tone with diagnoses such as Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, Spina Bifida, and others where significant support is needed. Sit to Stand Standers are most frequently used by children who have at least fair trunk control and are able to sit with minimal support. These children also have good head control and are able to keep their head up without support for long periods of time. The seated ‘resting’ position of Sit to Stand Standers also make them an ideal
