Phoebe has a stander that she's supposed to be strapped in for however long she tolerates it. The thing is , she screams as soon as we strap her in! Since she has 2 physical therapists with 2 different opinions, 1 for the stander and 1 for just plain standing, supported by a table and our hands, we've opted for just plain standing her up with her knee and ankle splints and shoes with foam inserts, supporting her bottom, and she'll do the rest.
The latest standing aid we received at duPont is the "magic pillowcase." The closed end has 2 holes for her legs. We put legs through, gather the fabric in our hands and lift one side at a time, and she's walking! As long as she's in a good mood to begin with, she'll tolerate her standing as long as 10 minutes at a time.
