1. Required measurements for set up & measuring guide:
Letter Body Part Required (Y/N)
A Knee height (oor to mid knee)
B Hip height (oor to top of hip)
C Elbow height (oor to bent elbow)
D* Axilla height (oor to armpit)
E Shoulder height (oor to top of shoulder)
F Overall height (oor to top of head)
G Hip width (widest location)
H Trunk width (widest location)
*Key Measurement
The measurements required for set up are best taken from a mat assessment as opposed to
seated. Ideally, taking into account the shoes/gators that will be used when the client stands.

Key points to measure:
A. Bottom of foot/shoe to middle of knee for supine set up. Used to set the mid-point on the
knee cups.
B. Bottom of foot/shoe to top of pelvis. Used for setting the top point on the pelvic block.
D. KEY MEASUREMENT: Bottom of foot/shoe to axilla. Used to set the thoracic lateral height.
The actual measurement we use for set-up is approx. 40mm less than this measurement.
(Diers greatly depending on how the person presents and level of support required – more
is not always better)
E. Bottom of foot/shoe to top of shoulder. Used to set the top point of the chest support.
F. Bottom of foot/shoe to top of head. Used for setting up the headrest position. This is
required for supine set ups only.
C, G & H. These are nice measurements to have but as the components are adjustable, these
can be adjusted during set up.
2. Available adjustments and options
There is a thorough guide from Leckey available, outlining adjustments in full that can be

adjustment it can be found here.
3. Brief summary of how to set up the stander
• Set required height to axilla on the stander – This is done by loosening the turn knob located
on the back of the central spine of the stander indicated in the image below. The actual height
to axilla is determined by the top of the thoracic lateral attached to the chest block. You may
also need to raise the back pad in conjunction with the pelvic block, see explanation below.

• Adjusting the height of the pelvic block. This is done by loosening the knob on either side of
the stander and moving to the desired position. Then retighten the knob to secure. Image
below.
• Move the knee cups to the desired position. This is done by loosening o the knobs that
control the setting of the height, distance forward and distance laterally. The height, depth and
lateral position of the knee cups can be altered independently. The three images below show
these adjustments
• Loosen o the turn knob under the footplate – This will then allow you to move the shoe
holder in the horizontal plane in 4 directions. Set to desired position.

• Adjustment to accommodate the knee contracture angle. Loosen the Allen bolt on both sides
of the swinging footplate, ensuring the client is well supported. Adjust the angle as necessary
and retighten. Pics two and three show prone and supine conguration.
• To set the angle to accommodate plantar-exion or
dorsi-exion , loosen the Allen key located by the knee
post, to the inside of the footplate. Place in the required
position, then retighten. See image on left.
• To adjust the height and angle of the lateral supports,
loosen the Allen bolt, adjust to the required width,
height and angle and retighten.
• If you are setting up the Mygo Stander in supine, you
will have a shoulder support. To adjust the angle of the
shoulder support laterals, loosen the Allen bolt, move
laterals to the required angle and retighten.

• If you are setting up the Mygo Stander in supine, you will have a head support. To adjust the
height, depth and angle of the head support, loosen the hand knobs and set to the required
position.
• Adjusting tray height. It is possible to adjust the depth, angle and height of the tray, as in the
images below.
• Setting the stander angle. Whether used in supine or prone the frame angle can be easily
adjusted by rising the safety lock and turning the handle until the desired angle has been
achieved. The angle can be read on the crossbar. Turn the handle clockwise to bring the
stander upright and anti clockwise to move towards horizontal.

• Remember to take in to account the shoe height when
setting heights. If the shoe is 1” thick then add 1” to
your measurements.
• When taking a person from a horizontal loaded
position to a standing position inset the tray only after
they are half way up to avoid blocking their vision. This
makes the process less stressful for the user.
• When securing the hip belt in supine, load the person
in then secure the belt around them making sure it is
tight. This is the key point in terms of getting a good
standing position as it stops the user from slumping
downwards when standing and loading the knees.
• Always secure the client’s hip belt rst and then next
secure the laterals, knee cups and shoe holders.
