Stand : Paediatric Support System

Stand is designed specifically from a user-centred perspective that encourages use and reduces stigmatisation. It employs a contemporary form, material choice and finish while being fully functional. The product is simple to assemble and fully adjustable. A work tray and other accessories can be easily attached, and various base options encourage walking or upright stance and play. With a modular design that grows with the child, Stand comfortably secures a child to allow them to play, learn and eat. A thorough structural and ergonomic analysis underpins a new form that replaces metal frames and fittings with easy-to-clean natural materials and soft touch finishes. Stand aims to create a fully adjustable and functional stander that lacks the clinical, heavy and isolating emotional content of current designs. It enables children and families affected by cerebral palsy to live a more inclusive life together while providing maximum support and health benefits from standing.
