Purpose: The purpose of this clinical suggestion is to describe a new type of a stander, a dynamic stander.
Key Points: The dynamic stander may give children with severe cerebral palsy an opportunity for movement in lower extremities and trunk while they are standing. It may increase their tolerance for standing in a stander for a considerable period of time. In addition, the potential for increased bone mineral density might be greater with a dynamic stander than a conventional stander. The design, development, and initial clinical use of the new type of stander is described.
Summary: Some minor problems related to the design of the dynamic stander were noted. Design changes to correct these problems could be easily implemented before the introduction of the stander for more widespread clinical use.

Supported standing devices are often used to maintain a standing position by people with difficulty or inability to ambulate or stand for a period of time. Supported standing programs are first implemented by healthcare professionals with goals to impact health and function. This paper intends to update previous position on wheelchair standing devices by the Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Association of North America, and was written in conjunction with the Clinician Task Force.

Effectiveness of assisted standing on bone mineral density in children with cerebral palsy. A systematic review.

Cerebral palsy is associated with complications such as low bone mineral density, which is more severe in patients with greater motor involvement. Assisted standing helps to prevent or delay this complication; however, its effect is controversial because the type of stander, the type of standing (dynamic or static), and its dosage are not clear. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of assisted standing on bone mineral density in children with cerebral palsy.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing immunoinflammatory skin condition characterized by sensations such as pruritis, pain, and neuronal hypersensitivity. The mechanisms underlying these sensations are multifactorial and involve complex crosstalk among several cutaneous components. This review explores the role these components play in the pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis.

Our ability to integrate posture with visually demanding tasks is a critical aspect of motor behavior flexibility. When looking at a small object, excessive body movements impair an individual's ability to visually attend to the object. To overcome this problem, we adjust our postural sway to successfully focus on the object.
