Gecko stander
On Monday, something new was added to Nicholas' therapy - a Gecko Stander. A stander provides vertical alignment and upright support for developmentally delayed children. It is suppossed to improve his head control, maintain bone density and also tone and strengthen his muscles. We have been putting him in it twice a day. We let him stand in it as long as he will tolerate it. So far the longest he has been in it is 25 minutes. The goal is to get him standing for an hour at a time. There is a tray on the stander where he can play with his toys while standing. Here are a few pictures of Nicholas in his Gecko stander.

Wow, an hour is a tall order... I wouldn't want to stand in that for an hour...
ReplyDeleteThats the same thing that I thought. Of course this is probably a cake walk for him compared to everything else he has been through.
