Standing Frame
A Standing frame consists
of a board with an adjustable tray and knee stabilizers.
It could be fitted with bilateral AFO's. Advantages
to a child in a standing frame are improvement of
coordination of the upper extremities and enhancement
of cardiorespiratory function.
Parapodium/swivel
walker
Parapodium is a prefabricated
standing frame worn over the clothes. It enables a
young client to stand without the assistance of crutches.
It consists of footplate with heel cup, aluminum uprights,
a foam knee block, and back and chest panels. Hip
and knee joints lock and unlock, allowing the patient
to sit as well as stand. The parapodium has proven
to be a useful device for allowing the child client
to become independently mobile. It is believed that
in a Swivel Walker the client is able to experience
the treatment benefits of upright stance and ambulating,
which includes improved kidney and bowel function
and in some cases strengthening the individual's load
bearing skeletal structure.
