Standing frames

Standing makes sense when it enters the routine.

We look for loading, alignment and participation without losing comfort or security.

How it helps

Support for standing with a useful and tolerable posture.

We break it down into three ideas: what it addresses, how it fits into the routine and how to make a sound decision.

01 · Need

We start from what you want to solve.

Alignment and weight-bearing.

02 · Use

The tool has to get into a routine.

Axial loading on the skeleton only produces real benefits if it is practiced regularly and in the correct posture.

03 · Lace

The decision is made judiciously.

A well-adjusted standing frame ensures proper alignment of the hips and spine, distributes weight safely, and allows for a progressive increase in standing time.

How to use

From first adjustment to real use.

We support you at every step so that Standing frames can be integrated safely into the routine.

1

Postural assessment

We look at head and trunk control, hips, feet and tolerance to use.

2

Custom fit

We configure support, angles and accessories for the target posture.

3

Progressive use

We introduce the equipment into the routine with a measurable progression.

4

Review and growth

We readjust as the body changes and new goals appear.

Benefits

What standing can change.

Each benefit, with an icon that makes it easy to grasp at a glance.

Axial loading on the skeleton only produces real benefits if it is practiced regularly and in the correct posture.

A well-adjusted standing frame ensures proper alignment of the hips and spine, distributes weight safely, and allows for a progressive increase in standing time.

Prolonged stretching of muscles and joints prevents joint retractions and promotes normalization of tone.

Physical activity and standing have a favorable impact on the respiratory and circulatory systems.

The intestinal pattern improves with active standing.

Bone mineral density is developed thanks to good nutrition, exercise and muscle activity.

Active standing is a low-intensity physical activity.

It reduces the risk of pressure ulcers by reducing pressure in some areas and increasing blood flow.

Mental activity is stimulated in an active standing position.

It allows social interaction, participation and communication with others at the same level.

Next step

See whether Standing frames fits your situation.

We help you confirm goals, day-to-day use and conditions before you decide.

for whom

Designed for every vital moment.

Integrate verticalization into the routine

Consistency is key: the goal is to integrate verticalization into the daily routine, not limit it to therapy sessions. The device, posture, and duration of use should be tailored to the diagnosis, age, muscle tone, environment, and therapeutic goals.

  • Standard standing frames in different sizes or custom made
  • Use at home, school, educational centre, clinic or hospital
  • Progressive regimen according to tolerance and real objectives
Social and emotional impact

Standing equal to others has a direct impact on social participation, self-esteem, and cognitive and emotional development. There is no universal solution; there is a solution that fits each case.

  • Participation and communication with others at the same level
  • More opportunities for interaction at home, school or centre
  • Individual assessment before choosing the team

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers to help you understand the service before deciding on the next step.

Still have questions? Write to us
Why stand with the hips abducted?

Standing in abduction seeks to promote optimal alignment of the hips and help prevent dislocations, as long as the posture, degree of opening and time of use are individualized.

Why is the standing position recommended?

The bipedal position pursues physical benefits such as promoting breathing and digestion, improving blood circulation and bladder function through postural drainage, increasing bone mineral density, promoting head and trunk control and preventing joint retractions. On a social and cognitive level, being on a level with others facilitates communication, stimulates attention and opens a new field of vision.

At what age is it recommended to start a standing program?

There is no single age, but there is a clear principle: the earlier, the better. In children with motor disabilities, it is recommended to start standing early, around 10 to 18 months, because it has an impact on the prevention of deformities, bone mineralization and motor, cognitive and social development. In adults, it can be started or resumed at any time during the rehabilitation process if there are no medical contraindications.

How much time a day is it recommended to use the standing frame?

There is no single figure. Most protocols aim for a minimum of 45-60 minutes daily to obtain relevant physiological benefits. The most important thing is consistency and increasing the time of use progressively, according to tolerance, diagnosis and clinical objectives.

Does it make sense to use a standing frame if my child already walks with assistance?

Yes. Walking with assistance may require so much effort that the child does not accumulate enough time standing during the day. The standing frame allows you to complete this loading time with optimal alignment of the hips and spine, without competing with assisted walking: they complement each other within a well-planned therapeutic program.

Which is better, a prone stander or a supine stander?

There is no one better than the other; there is one more suitable for each case. The choice depends on muscle tone, diagnosis, existing deformities, and therapeutic goals. In some cases you can alternate between both positions throughout the day.

What is the difference between a static stander and an active-assisted one?

The difference is whether the device generates movement or simply maintains position. If the goal is primarily postural and preventive, a static stander may be sufficient. If neurological stimulation, muscle activation and gait work are also sought, active-assisted provides greater therapeutic value.
