The Leckey Squiggles Stander with Easel Base is a versatile, adjustable stander offering prone, upright and supine standing in one stander, allowing the clinician to offer standing therapy to a range of children.
Standing is important, whether to allow gravity to assist the function of our internal systems or for reaping the benefits of weight bearing on bone and joint development.
The formation of a child’s hip joints is particularly important. Standing can help prevent hip migration through the formation of the head of the femur and the accetabulum in the hip bone. Standing also stretches and strengthens the muscles and can encourage extension. Psychologically, standing is also important as it enables interaction with their peers at the same level.
A few simple moves shifts the frame from supine to prone to a standing. The product design accommodates a wide range of sizes and positioning needs, making it easy to apply in multiple cases.

Standers offer users a variety of positions, provide varying amounts and placement of supports, and enhance people's functioning in many ways and many places. Many standing aids can be adjusted for growth or changes in physical condition; most can be used by more than one person.
Standing aids are available in three basic types: prone, supine, and vertical. All three types of standers share certain components.
Prone standers support the front of the body; they lean the user forward at varying angles to keep him/her upright. To further steady the user there are lateral (side) supports as well as posterior straps or pads that hold the feet, knees, buttocks, and trunk in place. The angle at which a user stands can usually be varied. The supports can be adjusted for growth or a change in the user's physical condition.
Supine standers support the posterior (back) surface of the body and offer lateral supports to maintain symmetry as well as anterior (front) straps or pads to position the feet, knees, and trunk. Most supine standers have an adjustable angle tray in front to support the arms and provide a work or play surface. Supine standers, which are similar to tilt tables used in clinical settings to achieve a passive standing position, which stand fully upright are useful for users cannot stand fully upright.
