Understanding frames: A qualitative exploration of standing frame use for young people with cerebral palsy in educational settings.

Background: Consensus opinion supports standing frame use as part of postural management for nonambulant young people with cerebral palsy. Most young people with cerebral palsy in the United Kingdom, who use standing frames, use them at nursery or school, rather than at home. In this paper we report professionals' and parents' experiences and views of standing frame use specifically in educational settings.

Standing frames for children with cerebral palsy: a mixed-methods feasibility study.

Background: Standing frames are recommended as part of postural management for young people with cerebral palsy (CP) Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level IV or V.

The NHS needs to know if these benefits are real, given the cost implications of use and the reported negative effects (e.

Understanding frames: A qualitative study of young people's experiences of using standing frames as part of postural management for cerebral palsy.

Background: Consensus opinion supports standing frame use as part of postural management for nonambulant young people with cerebral palsy. Although the rationale for standing frame use and the associated challenges have been described, little attention has been given to the users' experiences. The aim of the current study was to explore young people's positive and negative experiences, and attitudes regarding standing frame use.

Understanding frames: A UK survey of parents and professionals regarding the use of standing frames for children with cerebral palsy.
