Supported standing can stimulate headrighting, weight-bearing on the forearms, and mid-line hand use. Standing also provides an opportunity for peer socialization and upper extremity activities, which should be an integral part of a standing program. DESIGN GOALS The Rocket Stander was designed to provide individuals requiring prone, vertical, or supine standing, precise postural control at the upper trunk, pelvis, knees, and ankles. Adjustment from prone to vertical to supine offers therapists the opportunity to provide graduated weight-bearing to promote more normal tone distribution and stability, and selective extension of the spine. PRECAUTIONS 1. [. . . ] Very lightly loosen the 4 screws on the trunk support (to not disturb the 10 height adjustment), and adjust the width. Pitch: remove the ball lock pin (E) on the trigger tilt by pushing in on the black button as you pull out. Squeeze the trigger to adjust the pitch of your column. Remember that if the hips and knees are flexed to 10 degrees, the foot supports must be plantarflexed 10 degrees to give neutral alignment at the ankles. This is very important for children with limited range. Figure 11 11 TRAY ADJUSTMENT Refer to figure 12. Height: Loosen the two allen screws (1) and slide the tray along the upper column to the desired height. Depth: Loosen the two knobs (2), located underneath the tray. Slide the tray along the tray bar to the desired depth. Rotate the tray about the tray mounting bar to the desired angle. Make sure the teeth on the angle locks mesh. Figure 12 1 3 2 12 KNEE BLOCK ADJUSTMENT Refer to figure 13. Rotate the knee support bar (2) until the knee pad is at the appropriate angle to support the knees. Slide the knee support bar until the knee pad is at the correct width to assist in the alignment of the lower extremities. Slide the knee pad along the knee support bar to make small height adjustments. For additional height adjustment: Loosen levers (1) and rotate the knee support bar 180°. Loosen lever (3), then remove the knee blocks and replace them right side up. Slide the knee blocks to the desired position then tighten the levers. Slide the knee block along the knee block bar (5) to the desired width. Repeat for both sides. 3 4 Figure 13 5 1 2 13 FOOT SUPPORT ADJUSTMENT Refer to figure 14. Leg length discrepancy: Loosen the allen screw (1), the outer screw on the mounting bracket, for the shoe holder which needs to be lowered. Lower the shoe holder, by lowering the shoe holder support bar (2), to accommodate the lower leg. Abduction: Loosen the screws (3), located on the footrest mounting brackets underneath the shoe holders. [. . . ] Tighten the allen screw (8) to secure the lock pin block.
