Stretcher standing: This device has several straps that is responsible for maintaining the body stable when positioning it vertically can be electric or manual.
Pediatric fixed standing stall: It is designed with steel side bars,adjustable tapes to the size of the child and gradual fasteners for the feet.
The use of the standing is fundamental for the children with some affectation in their neuromuscular development, since the standing generates them psychological and physical benefits. When the use of this tool is frequent, it encourages self-confidence and encourages them to communicate and socialize with their environment. This toll must be used under the recommendation of the physiotherapist, since it will indicate the way to use it, that is, the period of time the child must be using the equipment according to their age and ability to move. There is a lot of variety in their designs, some are created with adjustable tables and others can be tilted in various positions.
Standing stationary It is structured by a back and a frame velcro straps to hold the child's body, providing stability and security when it is vertically. It is necessary to use it for at least 4 hours a day (depending on the age and condition) so it is essential for your comfort and handling.
The variety of design of a bipedestadora are many, from simple and functional to electrical and complicated, which makes it little accessible by low-income people due to its high cost. The use of this tool is very important at the time of therapies for children with motor disabilities, which led me to perform a bipedestodora at home that is functional and according to the requirements of the physiatrist according to the child's condition. This design has bras only for the knees, can also be included bras for the hip and trunk, this design is made according to the requirements of my son
Below the materials used for the creation
1 Wooden board with 25 cm width and 1 m height
1 Wooden board with 30 cm width and 60 cm height
1 Padded lining
2 Velcro tape 10 cm wide and 25 cm long
3 Nails
The construction is very simple you just have to join the boards, making sure they are vertical, to maintain the correct position of the boards use rest foot.
Factors to consider when building it
The construction material must be resistant to the weight and size of the child
Do it with fixed tapes, to provide strength at the moment of grip
The weight of the materials must be comfortable when handling it
Cover the wood with soft or padded fabric to avoid irritability, provide safety and comfort when using it.
When using, consider the following
When positioning the child the table must be horizontal, to maintain the proper position and be manageable when holding with the tape, each leg should be done individually to avoid bad posture.

The standing position gives the child the possibility of standing in a correct posture for a long period of time, since he alone can not achieve it. The benefits for children with motor problems this is very important because it gives them the possibility to perform some activities that alone can not achieve. Each time I use it, the father must make sure that the child is comfortable and properly restrained, the high cost of this tool makes it impossible for many parents to obtain it, the need to use it for the improvement of my son motivates me to build one at home since I had the economic resources to buy it.
