PREFACE:  
These pages provide information to professionals for the 
set up and use of the Prone Assembly version of the Peer 
Level Stander. The Mulholland Standing Systems are 
designed to provide individuals requiring prone, vertical, 
or supine standing, precise postural control at the upper 
trunk, pelvis, knees and ankles. All standers adjust from 
prone to vertical to offer therapists the opportunity to 
provide graduated weight-bearing to promote more normal 
tone distribution and stability, and selective extension of 
the spine. Standers also stimulate head-righting, weight-
bearing on the forearms and mid-line hand use. Standing 
provides an additional opportunity for peer socialization 
and interaction, and upper extremity activities should be an 
integral part of the standing program.   
PRECAUTIONS:  
Standing should always be prescribed by the child's 
physician with recommendations for the duration, 
frequency, and contraindications.The standing program 
should be closely monitored by the child's therapist. USE 
OF THE STANDER SHOULD BE UNDER DIRECT 
ADULT SUPERVISION AT ALL TIMES.
