The advantages of putting users into a standing position include increasing bone mass, strengthening muscles, furthering respiration, and enhancing development of the hip socket. The upright position also increases a user's viewing area and enhances their feeling of well-being. Weight bearing is important to the user when developing and strengthening the hip joints.
Standing can:
- increase bone density
- decrease joint contractures
- improve cardiopulmonary function
- improve digestion
- increase bone growth
- increase alertness
When positioning children in standing frames it is important to use the pelvis as a key point. The pelvis must be symmetrical and it must be neutrally tilted. The user must stand symmetrically with equal weight on both legs and with pelvis in a neutral position. Head and body should be in middle.
Prone standing stimulates the user to more active extension, especially if the frame is tilted a few degrees forward. Standing supine is chosen if the user has poor head control or to make transfer easier to the standing frame.
