HOW TO USE STANDY
STANDY IS A STANDER DESIGNED FOR ACHIEVING AND MAINTAINING AN ERECT
POSITION.
It is recommended for persons such as paraplegics, quadriplegics, spastics, dystonics, hypoton-
ics and the elderly and MUST BE PRESCRIBED BY A MEDICAL SPECIALIST WHO HAS
DETERMINED:
-that there are no dislocations or fractures of the lower limbs
-that there is no dislocation of the hip
-that there is no bone fragility
-that the person is not convalescing from recent surgery
-that the person's dimensions and weight are not greater than the maximum
weight and/or shorter or taller than the heights indicated on page 6
-the degree of extension of the lower limbs
-that the intended user is capable of using the aid
THE DEVICE IS INTENDED FOR USE:
-at home
-in specialized rehabilitation centres
-in hospital gymnasiums
-in nursing homes
DO NOT LEAVE THE USER UNATTENDED OR NEAR OPEN FLAME OR STAIRS
THE AID MAY BE USED OUTDOORS ONLY IF THE SURFACE IS FLAT AND WELL-
PAVED AND PROTECTED FROM BAD WEATHER
WHAT DOES STANDY DO
STANDY HAS BEEN DESIGNED:
-to provide training in achieving an erect position
-for maintaining the upright position with the load on two feet, which would otherwise be
impossible
With STANDY the user obtains a postural adaptation that allows the body to maintain a secure
position, anchored and bound by the support surfaces, allowing selective exploration and a
dialogue with the surrounding physical/social world.
STANDY can, in fact, be used in normal life situations by children and adults, increasing
opportunities for their active involvement and, thus, real integration.

11/34
AN APPROPRIATE USE OF STANDY CAN FACILITATE:
- the prevention of deformities
- training the postural muscles
- the control and straightening of the head, facilitated by the decreased gravity-opposing ef-
fort of the trunk thanks to the chest support, which can be removed when there is sufficient
trunk control (fig. F, f page 16)
- the programmed control of labyrinthine-vestibular function disturbances
- the experience of manual activities guided by vision, eased by the fact that the upper
limbs are freed from protection and support functions
-
IN ADDITION, AN ERECT POSITION:
- increases respiratory capacity due to increased ventilation and reduced obstructive
phenomena
- facilitates peristalsis
- facilitates circulatory functions
It is especially important to emphasize that STANDY is an aid that increases the ability to
adapt to the surrounding environment by increasing personal autonomy, i.e., the possi-
bility of relating to oneself, others and the physical environment: the ability to “put one-
self in contact with ...”
HOW STANDY WORKS
- Bring the wheelchair close until it touches the base of the stander with its front wheels
ATTENTION
LOCK THE WHEELCHAIR WITH ITS BRAKES
- Position the lower limbs in the HEEL STOPS (see page 20)
- Make sure that the kneepads allow the knees to flex slightly: flexion can be increased or de-
creased with the person in the upright position by adjusting the kneepads or heel stops (see
pages 19, 20)
ATTENTION
If the product has accessory 861, engage the brakes before making the adjustments

12/34
Be very careful to apply ADEQUATE FORCE TO THE CHEST AND PELVIC
SUPPORTS: in fact, it must be SUFFICIENT TO ENSURE A MINIMUM OF STABILITY.
- Fig. B: avoid excessive support that could cause a “feeling of constriction”
- Fig. C: a support that is too “light” could cause “fear of falling” reactions or a feeling
of instability
- Fig. D: in the correct position, the feet should be equidistant from the centre of the sup-
port platform, the pelvis symmetrical and aligned with the trunk, and the trunk and legs
extended
If there is sufficient trunk control, the chest support may be lowered or removed (see p.16).
ATTENTION: THE STANDER MUST ALLOW THE USER TO PERFORM ACTIVITIES
IN A CORRECT AND FACILITATING POSITION AND MUST NOT SERVE TO KEEP THE
PERSON STILL OR IMMOBILE
The work tray, which is also adjustable, should be set so that it allows use of the hands
with the upper limbs semi-extended.

HOW TO ADJUST STANDY
THE STANDER IS ADJUSTED IN THREE PHASES AND MUST BE PERFORMED UNDER
THE DIRECT SUPERVISION OF THE SPECIALIST WHO PRESCRIBED IT.
1st PHASE: YOU MUST MEASURE:
1. the person's height from below the chest to the ground, which must be used
to position the chest support.
2. the distance from the kneecap to the ground, which must be used to position
the stander's kneepads
The measurements can be taken with the person standing or lying down.
2nd PHASE: INITIAL ADJUSTMENT WITHOUT THE USER
Transfer the measurements made in phase 1 to the stander
3rd PHASE: SUBSEQUENT ADJUSTMENT WITH THE USER
Check:
1. that, once closed, the back support is located in the centre of the buttocks.
The height of the arm support will depend on the positioning of the rear pelvis
thrust cushion
2. the positioning of the kneepads
3. the positioning of the heel stops in width and depth
4. the position of the thoracic support
5. the position of the tray, which must be set by checking the user's height from
under the elbow to the ground (minimum height). In those cases where it is not
possible to take this measurement with the person standing, measure the dis-
tance from bent elbow to feet with the user lying down. To operate the handle
(STANDY 4 only) the tray must be moved away.
6. the vertical alignment of the thorax and the pelvis (any lateral deviation can
be corrected with accessory 857, see pages 25 and 26)
7. the flexion of the limbs: the standing position is determined by the front-to-
back adjustment of the cback support, kneepads and heel stops
ATTENTION:
ALL ADJUSTABLE ELEMENTS MUST BE LOCKED!!!
MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE ADJUSTMENTS ARE SECURELY LOCKED IN PLACE TO
AVOID SITUATIONS OF DANGER FOR THE USER.
WARNINGS:
THE ADJUSTMENTS MUST BE CHECKED BY THE PRESCRIBER AND REHABILITATION
THERAPIST WHEN CONSIDERED APPROPRIATE TO OPTIMIZE THE STANDING
POSITION, BECAUSE ADEQUATE USE AFFECTS THE PERSON'S FLEXION AND
DECREASES HIS/HER RIGIDITY
