Prone stander monkey by Jenx
Prone Standers provide anterior support and stability, while encouraging weightbearing and the use of both hands and arms. Versatile, tool free adjustments make
it easy for therapists and caregivers to adapt to the user’s growth and developing
skills.
Description
- For upright social interaction: The Prone Stander offers users the opportunity to be at eye-level with
their peers and participate in class activities while still being supported adequately at the trunk. - For improving head and trunk control: The prone tilt of the main board engages the pull of gravity
on the head and upper trunk, cueing the use of the neck and trunk extensor muscles to maintain an upright
head position. The main board can also be lowered to increase postural challenge to the upper trunk. - To minimize extensor tone: The prone tilt of the main board engages the pull of gravity to counteract
extensor tone and thrust. - For pressure relief: The Prone Stander is a great temporary alternative to wheelchair positioning,
relieving pressure on the ischial tuberosities and other areas susceptible to skin breakdown. - For gradual increase in weight-bearing: The 0° to 85° angle adjustment makes it easy to monitor
and adjust the rate and amount of weight-bearing the user can manage comfortably. - For better hip extension and alignment: Hip range of motion and integrity can be maintained in
the prone position with the firm anterior support and abductor options.
