PREFACE:

These pages provide information to professionals for the
set up and use of the Prone 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 weight­bearing 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.

OF THE STANDER SHOULD BE UNDER DIRECT
ADULT SUPERVISION AT ALL TIMES.
