Standing and weight-bearing support
Standing equipment should be considered around alignment, tolerance, transfers, supervision, functional goals and relevant professional guidance—not from age or diagnosis alone.
Key review areas
Intended use
Home, school or clinic setting; activity goals; standing duration; available supervision and space.
Safety context

- Hip, knee and foot alignment
- Chest, pelvic and support levels
- Transfer method and caregiver capacity
Start the review
Share the child’s current function and intended standing goal before discussing a product configuration.
Standing support is not appropriate for every child or every stage of care. Medical and therapy precautions should be reviewed locally before use.
