Product overviewStanding transforms lives. For children and adults with disabilities, the opportunity to stand—whether upright, supine or prone—brings new opportunities for interaction, development, and dignity. The Rifton Multi-Position Stander is a versatile, supportive, and easy-to-adjust multi-position standing frame that meets a wide range of positioning needs.
Why standing matters: benefits- Promotes bone health by maintaining or increasing bone mineral density.
- Reduces spasticity, stretches muscles, and improves range of motion.
- Encourages better spinal alignment and posture.
- Supports hip joint development with optional leg abduction for comfort and alignment.
- Facilitates eye-level engagement and social interaction with peers and family.
