Prime Engineering
Superstand HLT
An ATP & Clinician Best Pick of 2018:
Need a stander for your classroom? Order the Superstand HLT from Prime Engineering with the adjustable depth and height supports. The trunk laterals and hip guides will be in slots that go in/out and up/down by just sliding. Also, upgrade to the metal wheels. This one unit can go prone, supine, upright, abduct, and accommodate almost any postural impairment.
For severe knee and hip contractures (20-90°), add the special system (get a longer bar for hip contractures). There will be no pressure on the patellae, and you can start to try to gain range. One study gained 3° a week! If you need more than 30° of abduction, order a longer bar and the rotational foot plates so you can align the hind foot with the tibia.
For the final touch, order the water-resistant covers. These look great, but also offer an additional level of cleanliness, as you can swap them out and wash them between users.

LEVO’s C3 makes standing available for adults and kids (with pediatric sizing as small as 12.5" seat width/13.75" seat depth). A Dual Drive System delivers traction to both the mid and front wheels. As the user sits, the center wheels drive the chair for great maneuverability.

The standing system is low shear, and the C3 can also be equipped with tilt-in-space seating and a reclining back. On flat surfaces, the C3 can be driven with its user in the standing position.

Dynamic Stander
The Kaye Dynamic Stander allows 360° of movement within the base of support while the client is standing.

Clients can begin by experiencing limited movement, then can increase range of movement as they develop confidence.

Available in two sizes for clients up to 6'2" tall.
