WHAT MINI STANDY IS AND WHAT IT IS FOR
MINI STANDY IS A STANDING FRAME DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED TO HELP
CHILDREN FROM 1 TO 12 YEARS TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN AN UPRIGHT POSI-
TION.
MINI STANDY HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED :
-To train and achieve an independent upright position
-to maintain a vertical position with a two-foot load, as an alternative to an independent position that
would otherwise be impossible
-to make therapy time pleasant both eliminating the “boredom” factor and also increasing the
number of stimuli the child receives
It is important to remember that:
-the upright position is the ideal antigravity posture for human beings. It represents the conquest of a
two-legged bearing that thus frees the upper limbs and hands from acting as support and protection
-what we mean by posture is the body’s constant relation with its environment, achieved by maintain-
ing a balance between the elastic forces of the protagonist and antagonist muscles, and between
the body’s inner forces and the forces exerted on it by the outside environment
-posture is maintained by integrating visual, vestibular and somatic-sensory proprioceptor information
MINI STANDY is an aid that allows this information to be integrated and facilitates this process
MORE SPECIFICALLY AN APPROPRIATE USE OF MINI STANDY CAN FACILITATE:
-Gaining experience with a posture that can act as an alternative to the one that has been “forced” or
“partially forced” on the child by his pathology, as well as enabling proper placement of the joints so
that controlled and modulated variations can be introduced. The aim of all this is to prevent from
deformity
-Training the antigravity musculature
-Controlling and straightening the head. Conditions that are facilitated by the reduced antigravity
involvement of the trunk: this is achieved thanks to the tray which is considered as an adjustable
trunk support (the tray can be removed once adeguate control of the trunk has been attained)
-Experiencing visually guided manual activity. Thanks to this it is possible to integrate the visual
information drawn from the objects with the information coming from the child’s own body when it is
in the correct posture
-Therefore this involves the possibility of grasping, catching and exploring, initially on an
-overall level and then selectively, and handling through simple or complex constructive activities,
-using objects. This is also facilitated by the fact that the upper limbs have been relieved of their
protective and support functions
IN ADDITION, THE UPRIGHT POSTURE ALSO ENABLES THE FOLLOWING:
A – IMPROVED RESPIRATORY CAPACITY through increased ventilation and a decrease in
obstructive phenomena
B – IMPROVED PERISTALSIS
C – IMPROVED CIRCULATION
Above all it is important to emphasize that MINI STANDY is an AID THAT CAN ENHANCE THE
CHILD’S CAPACITY TO ADAPT TO HIS SURROUNDINGS, or in other words, to interact positively
with the world around him.
This will ultimately lead to MORE PERSONAL AUTONOMY, so that the child can establish good
relations with himself, with the others and with his physical environment: his skill at “getting in
touch with”.

HOW MINI STANDY WORKS
It works very simply and safely.
MINI STANDY is a standing frame composed of a lateral frame that is graduated so that its
height can be easily adjusted and of a patented electronic kit fixed under the footboard
When the child is standing he is supported by wide straps across the pelvis and trunk that
can be adjusted from the front to the back (to follow knee-hip flexion) as well as in its circumfe-
rence.
Two front knee pads and two heel rests fix the position of the lower limbs. The physiatrist
and/or therapist must continuously monitor the child’s position on the MINI STANDY. In
fact it is used by disabled children during their developmental period. Since they grow up quickly
and they can also change in terms of their pathological picture, this entails constant assess-
ment and adjustment.
ATTENTION: Before starting to position the child, brake the wheels of MINI STANDY !
When starting it is advisable to have an adult stand behind the child and hold his sides firmly if
the child has an adequate control of the trunk. Otherwise, the child should be supported by his
armpits.
The therapist should temporarily position the lower limbs first, followed by the pelvis and the
trunk. At this point, always attempting to get the child cooperate as actively as possible and
explaining him what is being done and why, the position of the feet in the heel rests and knee
pads must be controlled, following any flexion that may be present. Subsequently, the pelvis
must be controlled through the pelvic support and then, the trunk must be controlled using the
trunk support.
It is important to pay special attention to “dosing” the right amount of trunk and pelvic
support. There must be an adeguate support to assure a minimum amount of stability.
Avoid any excessive support since it could give the child a heavy feeling of “confinement”.
At the same time, however, the support must not be too “light” since this could cause a
reaction of “ fear of falling” or instability.
If the child is able to communicate, it is important to listen to his feelings and impressions so that
the amount of restraint can be “modulated” as correctly as possible.
Always bear in mind that MINI STANDY is a standing frame that must allow the child to carry
out several activities and that it was not designed to keep him still and immobilized. This is the
main objective that must be taken as a guideline in using this aid, which should work as a tool “
to do things in a correct and favourable position”. Using MINI STANDY we try to make this ther-
apy moment enjoyable both eliminating the “boredom” factor and increasing the number of sti-
muli the child receives significantly
Naturally the correct posture will be different from one child to another according to their age,
motor picture and overall picture. However, the general rule is to set a position that is the most
correct and aligned one.

HOW TO ADJUST MINI STANDY
WHILE ADJUSTING THE STANDING FRAME IT IS IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THREE
PHASES AND IT MUST BE ADJUSTED UNDER THE DIRECT CONTROL OF THE
DOCTOR WHO PRESCRIBES IT
1ST. PHASE: YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER:
1.the height of the child from under his chest to the ground is needed to fix the
trunk support;
2.the height from the knee-cap to the ground is needed to fix the knee-pads of
the standing frame;
You can measure while the child is standing or while he is laying.
2ND. PHASE: INITIAL ADJUSTMENT WITHOUT THE CHILD AND CONSIDERING THE
MEASURES THAT YOU MUST MEASURE BEFORE
3RD. PHASE: SUBSEQUENT ADJUSTMENT WITH THE CHILD
Check:
1.that the back strap, once it is closed, is in the middle of the bottom. The
height of the arm supports depends on the position of the back support of the
pelvis;
2.the position of the knee-pads;
3.the position of the heel rests in width and depth;
4.the position of the tray. It must be fixed controlling the height of the User from
under his elbow to the ground (minimum height). Shouldn’t it be possible to make
this control, you can measure the distance from the bended elbow to his feet while
the User is laying.
5.the vertical alignment of the chest and pelvis
6.the flexion of the limbs: the vertical position is determined by the front and
back adjustment of the pelvis support, of the knee-pads and of the heel
rests.
WARNINGS: ALL THE ADJUSTABLE PARTS MUST HAVE BEEN WELL LOCKED!!!
Always check that all the adjustments have been correctly fixed in order to avoid any
possible danger to the User.
WARNINGS:
THE ADJUSTMENTS MUST BE ALWAYS CONTROLLED BY THE DOCTOR WHO PRE-
SCRIBES THE AID AND BY THE THERAPIST WHENEVER THEY THINK IT IS NEEDED.
THIS IS IMPORTANT TO OPTIMIZE THE VERTICAL POSITION BECAUSE THE RIGHT
USE OF THE STANDING FRAME CONDITIONS THE FLEXION OF THE USER AND IT
REDUCES HIS RIGIDITY
