Standing Frames for Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP): Why They're Essential & How to Choose the Right One
Children with cerebral palsy often face difficulties with mobility, posture, and weight-bearing due to muscle tightness or weakness.
One of the most powerful tools in pediatric rehabilitation is a standing frame—a device that allows children with limited mobility to stand upright in a safe, supported position.
At Morecare Mobility & Rehabilitation Solutions, we design and manufacture high-quality standing frames for CP kids that support better physical development and greater participation in daily life.
🌱 Benefits of Standing Frames for CP Kids
Regular standing through a well-designed frame offers many therapeutic and functional advantages:
- ✅ Improves bone strength and reduces risk of osteoporosis
- ✅ Enhances hip and joint alignment
- ✅ Reduces spasticity and improves circulation
- ✅ Supports bladder and bowel function
- ✅ Encourages social interaction at eye level
- ✅ Boosts mental alertness and focus
🔍 Types of Standing Frames for CP Children
Depending on the child’s physical needs, different types of standing frames are used for rehabilitation, school, and home therapy.
1. Supine Standers (Back-supported standing)
Best for children with low head or trunk control. They provide support from behind, keeping the child in a reclined position if needed.

2. Prone Standers (Front-supported standing)
