Squiggles’ fun and bright design makes it perfect for every child friendly environment, whether this is at nursery, school or home. Furthermore, interacting with others at eye level is made easier due to Squiggles’ low to the ground positioning which helps children engage with their world from a different perspective and enjoy new experiences.

The adjustability offered by Squiggles Stander means a personalised fit can be achieved. The individually adjustable chest and pelvic supports are cushioned for comfort and adjust easily in height, width and angle. The ergonomic shape of the chest pad also maximises shoulder and upper limb function. Squiggles’ footplates are angle and depth adjustable to accommodate rotation at the hip or ankle and asymmetrically tight hamstrings. The footplate can be plantar flexed for tight gastrocnemius and leg length discrepancy can also be accommodated.

Squiggles is the perfect choice for home standing therapy- lightweight, simple to adjust, easily disassembled for storage and transportation, Squiggles is practical and easy for parents to use.

Trunk and 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. Where minimal head support is needed, for example in an upright posture, the flat headrest cushion acts as a posterior prompt to keep the head balanced over the trunk. Where additional support is needed to keep the head in midline, lateral supports can be added to the headrest.

Whether prone or upright, the tray with optional grab rail can be used to facilitate table top play whilst in the standing position. The deep activity tray allows for play in sand or water, while with its lid on, can facilitate table top play or feeding…
