Paediatric standing aids FAQ
A standing aid is supportive equipment designed to help children achieve and maintain a standing position safely. Standing aids are often used by children who require additional support for posture, balance or weight-bearing.
Choosing a standing aid depends on your child’s physical abilities, posture, support needs and therapy goals. It is also important to consider the preferred standing position, ease of transfers, adjustability and opportunities for participation during standing activities. A healthcare professional can help determine the most suitable standing solution.
Many standing aids are designed with adjustable supports, footplates, trays and height settings to accommodate growth over time. Regular adjustments and reviews can help ensure the standing aid continues to provide safe and effective support as your child develops.
Depending on the child’s individual needs and therapy goals, supported standing may support weight-bearing, joint and muscle flexibility, positioning, posture and participation. Standing can also provide opportunities for children to engage with peers and activities at eye level. The benefits of standing will vary depending on the child’s individual needs and therapy goals. A qualified healthcare professional should determine the appropriate standing programme.
