The sit+stand+supine and anywhere in-between positioning capability makes the Bantam the most innovative stander available. The new lift design pushes the product even further forward. Simplified operation, increased ability to independently change position, and improved reliability provide therapeutic opportunities not possible in any other stander.

Basic Info about client
Client’s Name: Eli
Age: 2 (will be 3 on 4/2/15)
Diagnosis: Cerebral Palsy
Brief history:
Premature birth – 35 weeks gestation
Sustained intrauterine ischemic event with damage to left parietal lobe, right occipital lobe, Macrodactyly left foot
Current Situation: Eli’s primary means of independent mobility is crawling with a non-reciprocating “bunny hop” pattern. He crawls up and down stairs and pulls to standing independently. He has decreased function of his right upper extremity, but consistently uses his right “helper hand”. Spasticity is present through both legs and right arm. Eli demonstrates typical crouch gait alignment in standing, tending toward bilateral ankle plantarflexion, and flexion at both knees and hips. He propels a gait trainer with minimal assist with forearm prompts and does best with ankle prompts to minimize scissoring and anterior rotation of the left side of the body. He requires verbal prompting to step to or step through with his right foot. Eli has bilateral Ankle Foot Orthotics (AFOs) to assist with alignment of his feet and lower legs.

Upright Standing
• Upright standing is a natural position with the head, hips, knees and ankles all in vertical alignment.
• When a child stands upright, they are likely to feel more balanced and are
in an optimal position to allow strengthening of the neck muscles.
• The option to easily go from upright to supine encourages longer periods
of standing, especially when loss of head control begins.
Full Support with Sit to Stand
• Full body support system with foot plates, knee pads (anterior), seat (posterior) and chest pad (anterior) that supports the individual in all positions from sitting, supine and standing.
• Children appear to adapt more quickly to standing and weight-bearing
when using a sit to stand device due to the extra support and sense
of security.
Supine Positioning
• The Bantam Medium is the only stander that combines the benefits of sit to stand and the option of supine to create infinite positioning possibilities from 90-90 sitting, fully vertical standing, full supine lying and anywhere in between.
• No other stander can provide the amount of positioning that is possible with the EasyStand Bantam Medium.
Gradual Range of Motion with Hip-Knee Flexion
• Can start in a hip-knee flexion position and gradually increase lower
extremity extension.
• By maintaining a sustained, weight-bearing stretch throughout the standing session, range of motion (ROM) can increase over time for many children.
