RIFTON DYNAMIC STANDER
Positioning standers play a very important role for people who are unable to weight bear independently, especially children and people with neurological disorders. Positioning standers not only provide alternative ways of positioning besides sitting, but there is also a long list of health benefits.
The most obvious benefit of standing is weight bearing. Weight bearing increases bone density, which is so very vital to people in wheelchairs. Without weight bearing, bones become brittle. Weight bearing also is the main premise of a very effective therapeutic intervention, NDT (Neurodevelopmental Treatment), which is widely used with people with neurological issues.
