7.2 How to attach the
chest support
Remove the screw on the chest support,
place the chest support onto the metal
extrusion at the required height, replace the
screw and tighten.
7.1 Multi Tool
A number of adjustments will require the use
of a multi tool, which is supplied with each
product.
Before inserting the tray receivers the clamp
plate for the height adjustment of the tray
must be moved out of the way, as it is
contained in the top of the hip pad extrusion.
To do this; loosen the knob at the top of
the hip pad (f) and push it in, this will push
the clamp plate out of the way of the tray
receiver bar. Then insert the tray receiver
bar into the top of the hip pad extrusion (g),
move it down to the required height and
retighten the knob securely.
Repeat on the opposite side. Now you can
insert your tray by inserting the tray bars into
the receivers to the required depth from the
front for prone and the back for supine then
retighten securely using knob on receiver (h).

9.4 Adjustment to
accommodate the
contracture angle
If possible, adjustment of the swinging
footplate on the Mygo stander should
be performed when the client is out
of the stander. However there may be
circumstances where it is necessary or
preferable to adjust the angle of the swinging
footplate with the client in the stander. This
process requires two competent persons;
one to make the adjustments and one to
assess the comfort of the client during the
adjustment, and is best performed with the
stander in a horizontal position.
In upright or prone standing:
Assess the client’s range of movement,
muscle tone, etc, on a plinth and determine
the optimum standing posture before
positioning the client in the stander. Position
the client in the Mygo stander. While carefully
Prone
Configuration

Configuration
supporting the head and shoulders, move
the client into a horizontal position. Open the
knee straps and sandal straps. Loosen the
Allen (a) bolt on both sides of the swinging
footplate ensuring the weight of the user’s
knees are supported by a carer, adjust the
angle of the swinging footplate as necessary,
always taking care to assess the client’s
comfort, and retighten the bolts securely.
Then secure the knee straps and sandal
straps. Return the client to prone standing
position.
In supine standing:
Assess the client’s range of movement,
muscles tone, etc, on a plinth and determine
the optimum standing posture before
positioning the client in the stander. Position
the client in the Mygo stander and move it
into a horizontal position. Open the knee
straps and sandal straps. Loosen the
Allen bolt (a) on both sides of the swinging
footplate ensuring the weight of the user’s
knees are supported by a carer, adjust the
angle of the swinging footplate as necessary,
always taking care to assess the client’s
comfort, and retighten the bolts securely.
Then secure the knee straps and sandal
straps. Return the stander to preferred
supine standing angle.

9.5 Positioning the sandals
Each sandal is attached to the individual
footplate with a single fixing bolt. The
footplate is encapsulated in rubber to ensure
the sandals do not slide when secured.
To position the user’s feet in the sandals
secure the Velcro straps provided so the foot
is held in place. The straps should be over
the bridge of the foot and over the toes. The
front strap can be fed through one of two
slots on either side of the sandals, depending
on the size of the user’s feet (2).
If the child is wearing sandals or light
footwear check the straps to make sure
the webbing does not irritate the skin.
