It promotes better interactivity because the child is able to be placed in a variety of positions for classroom work or socializing at the dinner table. The Bantam can place the child in 90/90 sitting, anterior sitting, upright standing, supine standing or lying positions with just the press of a button or with the hydraulic manual pump.
A Multitude of Standing Positions
Since changing positions in the Bantam is safe, easy, and quick, the child can get a whole new perspective without changing equipment. By alternating a variety of standing positions, the child can tolerate standing for a longer period of time. Plus, when it is easier for the caregivers to stand the child, and the child is more comfortable, they will stand more often.
Natural sit-to-stand transition gently brings child to the standing position
- One person can transfer the child from their wheelchair into the stander while in the seated or lying position.
- Secure positioning straps and optional Shadow Tray.
- Elevate child to the desired position by depressing the button to activate the manual gas spring lift (or optional manual hydraulic pump).
Why Stand Kids with Disabilities?
There are a number of excellent research studies documenting the medical benefits of standing programs for a child's long-term health. Besides the medical benefits, children have also experienced enhanced social development & peer interaction while standing. Therapists, teachers, and caregivers notice increased alertness, vocalization and responsiveness. Parents have observed how activities of daily living have increased, and kids like how standing allows them to play!
