PREFACE:
These pages provide information to professionals for the
set up and use of the Supine Assembly version of the Peer
Level Stander. The Mulholland Standing Systems are
designed to provide individuals requiring prone, vertical,
or supine standing, precise postural control at the upper
trunk, pelvis, knees and ankles. All standers adjust from
prone to vertical to offer therapists the opportunity to
provide graduated weight-bearing to promote more normal
tone distribution and stability, and selective extension of
the spine. Standers also stimulate head-righting, weight
bearing on the forearms and mid-line hand use. Standing
provides an additional opportunity for peer socialization
and interaction, and upper extremity activities should be an
integral part of the standing program.
PRECAUTIONS:
Standing should always be prescribed by the child's
physician with recommendations for the duration,
frequency, and contraindications.The standing program
should be closely monitored by the child's therapist.
