At this time, Joe is no longer able to tolerate lying/ standing fully supine or prone on a flat surface due thoracic deformities and lower extremity contractures (see ROM measurements). For this reason, a supine, prone or vertical stander are no longer appropriate. He does not tolerate angles of lower extremity extension that are required to be positioned in these types of standers. Sit to stand Stander We also considered a basic sit to stand stander with planer seat and back. We feel this stander, without supine or form to fit components didn't have enough support to meet his unique body positioning needs. Documentation of Trialed Devices and Outcomes 02/10/2017 PT50002 Bantam Small Joe demonstrated the ability to tolerate this supportive standing device for up to twenty minutes at a time when he was offered a in February. His family demonstrated safe transfer and use of the stander. Joe's o2 levels were monitored by pulse ox which showed he was able to use the stander without any drop in O2 saturation level during the trial period. Joe's lack of LE ROM was accommodated well with the sit to stand and supine component. The family lives in a small older home which has door opening (30" wide) that will accommodate the stander, but will require a push handle component to maneuver the tight door/ hall navigation to allow standing within the family’s normal daily activities and space. (Must be stored in Joe's bedroom, but standing program will take place in the living room and kitchen.) The Bantam base is 24.5″x36.5″ See the appendix for documentation.
