Standing and Walking
Developing Independence through Exploration
Walking is a complex activity for children to master, but is one of the most valuable for the physical,
cognitive and emotional development of children.
For children with disabilities, the process of helping a child to walk can take time and effort. But the
result is that they can enjoy a taste of independent mobility that helps them to learn to explore their
environment.
Standing provides children with the opportunity to develop and maintain key postural skills, as well
as providing play and therapy time on a level playing field as their peers. Standing frames which
are designed to meet children’s current and future needs are a key element in providing 24 hour
postural care
Adults with disabilities also benefit from standing. Research has shown benefits in posture,
respiration, digestion and systemic functions. In addition, standing provides opportunities for
increased independence, function and social interaction.
Otto Bock Australia, in partnership with Leckey and Prime Engineering, is pleased to be able to
offer a comprehensive range of walking and standing solutions. Mild, moderate and complex needs
can be accommodated.
