Leckey Mygo Stander

Hip, knee and ankle contractures can be accommodated via Mygo Stander’s outstanding adjustability. The footplates and knee supports uniquely move together, taking the strain off the hip flexors, hamstrings and gastrocnemius muscles, ensuring children stand in a more upright functional posture. This linked movement opens up standing therapy to children who were previously unsuitable because of their contractures.

A child’s activity and independence can be increased through using Mygo Stander as it has been designed to improve upper limb function. The ergonomically designed chest pad replicates the shape of the rib cage, allowing the shoulder girdle to freely protract and retract in prone standing. This, combined with Mygo Stander’s lower tray height and a more upright head and chest position, supports significant improvement in the child’s upper limb function. The child has space to move, supporting freer arm movement and an increased ability to carry out everyday activities such as feeding themselves, playing, self-care tasks and communicating with others.

Mygo is a modular stander which can be tailored to meet a child’s specific needs and evolve with them as they grow and their postural support needs and therapy goals change. An extensive range of options and accessories enable an individualised fit, ensuring the best possible posture is achieved.

Adjustable and Versatile

Not only can the Leckey Mygo Stander change angles from supine, upright, and prone through an easy-to-use crank system, this pediatric stander also offers up to 20 degrees of angle adjustment to the knee and foot supports to accommodate for contractures.

Trunk & Head Alignment

As in sitting, trunk and head support contributes to the stability of the pelvis in standing, enhancing arm and hand function, concentration and social interaction. The headrest support bracket is compatible with a range of head supports, including our own custom designed wide headrest. The headrest support bracket is compatible with a range of head supports, including our own custom designed wide headrest. The ergonomically designed chest pad replicates the shape of the rib cage allowing the shoulder girdle to freely protract and retract in prone standing, improving upper body function. Wrap around flexible chest laterals support the upper body in either prone, upright or supine standing with minimum obstruction.

Function

The Mygo Stander is designed to promote independence and function in a number of ways. The ergonomically designed chest pad replicates the shape of the rib cage allowing the shoulder girdle to freely protract and retract in prone standing. Combined with a lower tray height and a more upright head and chest position the client’s upper limb function is significantly improved. The supine shoulder support also stabilises the shoulder girdle. Consequently the Leckey Mygo Stander increases the ability of the user to play, feed and communicate. The Mygo Stander tray is available with a clear insert. Sheets of paper e.g. print outs of communication symbols or schoolwork, can be slipped under the clear insert to keep them in place.

Pelvic Stability

Pelvic stability is as important in standing as in sitting, because the trunk, head, and legs have to be in alignment in order for standing to be comfortable and therapeutically effective. The pelvic derotation belt enables the therapist to position the client’s pelvis in a central and neutral position with minimum effort. A gluteal prompt provides a proprioceptive sense of security to the client. Flexible hip laterals provide proximal support to the pelvis and ensure the user remains in a central position. The optional posterior support pad gives the child the maximum feeling of security and support when standing in prone.? It includes a pommel and hip laterals…
