Basic components
Adjustments:
(see Figures 5a and 5b)
1. Always adjust body support height
before a client is placed in the stander.
Use knobs (A) to raise or lower body
support and tighten both knobs securely.
2. Use four knobs (B) to adjust width of
body support.
3. Top strap (C) can be adjusted and
positioned at center of back underneath
the arms, or behind the head to be used
as a neck support.
4. The seat pad (D) can be adjusted up and
down and angled in a variety of ways.
Four separate straps (E) and multiple
snap hook positions (F) allow for
individualized positioning. By adjusting
the position and angle of the seat pad,
a client can be firmly supported in an
upright standing position or in a flexed
stance to allow for contractures of hips
and knees. For more support a second
seat pad can be placed in the middle of
the back.
5. Knee straps (G) secure the knees in a
standing or partially standing position. If
a client needs abduction, two additional
straps can be ordered. For a small child,
use the top slots in the body support for
the knee straps. For a larger person, use
both bottom slots.
6. Optional large wheels can be removed
using a simple push button. Rolling
casters allow for convenient interaction
between the client and his or her
environment.

Operation
To prevent falls and
injuries:
• Immobilize the product by applying
the wheel locks before placing a client
into or removing a client from the
Dynamic Stander.
• When removing the client from the
stander, ensure that the client is

upwards.
1. To safely place a client in the Dynamic
Stander, immobilize the unit by applying
the wheel locks.

side of seat pad and center strap of seat
pad, allowing seat pad to swing out of
the way.
3. Release one side of top strap and swing
it out of the way.
4. Carefully place the client into the stander
from the back.
5. The seat pad should be placed under
the client’s buttocks. If the client is non-
weight-bearing, position it at an angle
appropriate to bear the client’s weight.
If the client is weight-bearing, the pad
should be positioned vertically.
6. The top strap, with fleece in back,
should be placed under the client’s arms
and fastened behind the client’s back.
7. After placing the client in the unit,
review the following checklist:
○Is the bottom of the body support
below the knees?
○Is the top of the body support about
nipple level or lower?
WARNING ○Are the feet placed under the hips
and as far forward on the platform as
possible without causing discomfort?
○Is the body properly aligned?
○Is the body support adjusted to the
proper width?
○Are all the straps fastened and snug?
