PREFACE

This instruction manual provides information to professionals for the set
up and use of the Rocket Stander. Supported standing can stimulate head
righting, weight-bearing on the forearms, and mid-line hand use. Standing
also provides an opportunity for peer socialization and upper extremity
activities, which should be an integral part of a standing program.

DESIGN GOALS

The Rocket Stander was designed to provide individuals requiring prone,
vertical, or supine standing, precise postural control at the upper trunk,
pelvis, knees, and ankles. Adjustment from prone to vertical to supine
offers therapists the opportunity to provide graduated weight
promote more normal tone distribution and stability, and selective
extension of the spine.
