PREFACE

This instruction manual provides information to professionals for the set up and use of the Rocket Stander. Supported standing can stimulate headrighting, 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-bearing to promote more normal tone distribution and stability, and selective extension of the spine.

PRECAUTIONS

1. Standing should always be prescribed by the childs physician with recommendations for duration of standing, frequency and contraindications. The standing program should be closely monitored by the childs therapist.

2. The stander should be used under direct adult supervision at all times. 3. Do not use for transportation.

4. Use stander only on level surfaces.

5. Observe load limits on product label.
