The NEW Leckey Squiggles + Stander adds new, innovative features to the already versatile three-in-one Squiggles Stander designed for children ages 1-5 years. The Squiggles + Stander still offers prone, upright, and supine standing all in one product with a wide range of adjustability for the chest, hip, and knee supports. This adjustability translates into the ability to accommodate one child’s growth or easily allows different configurations in a multiuser environment. The Squiggles + also still offers a light weight but robust stander support frame which can easily be transported or disassembled for storage. The angle ranges are 90-70 degrees for prone and 90-160 degrees for supine.

So, what’s new? The Squiggles+ frame allows Hip Abduction (moving leg to the side, away from midline) up to 30 degrees for each leg with a measurement gauge to monitor and aid repeatability of position. Hip Laterals shift in sync with the legs as they move through the arc of abduction. An improved pivot chassis facilitates horizontal (flat) loading while accommodating hip abduction. The new foot pedal makes it easy to operate the pneumatic angle adjustment from 90 to 160 degrees. A new height-adjustable ergonomically designed push handle makes it easy to move the stander from place to place in the classroom or at home. The handle can be lowered when the stander is used in the prone position. New wrap around Knee Supports are larger and offer greater, more comfortable support to the medial (inside) aspect of the knee. The effective distribution of pressure is especially important when the hip abduction feature is utilized. Individually adjustable footplates easily accommodate a leg length discrepancy.

Introducing standing in a developmentally appropriate time frame is important for all children, even if functional ambulation is not anticipated. An upright posture allows gravity to assist the function of internal organs and systems. By standing, children bear weight through their bones and joints. This helps to shape developing joints such as the hip joint and helps to strengthen bone development. Recent years have seen a growing research interest around the effectiveness of abducted standing in the maintenance of hip joint integrity. Although further research is required, results have led to the recommendation that hip abduction of 15-30 degrees may be beneficial during daily standing programs lasting 60-90 minutes.
