Leckey Squiggles+ Standing Frame

The Squiggles+ Stander offers new features to the extremely versatile three-in-one Squiggles Stander for children aged 1-5 years. The Squiggles+ builds on the best of the much-loved Squiggles Stander- it continues to offer three-in-one standing, a child-focused design, near-to-the-ground positioning for interaction at eye level, unsurpassed support and adjustability, as well as easy storage. But Squiggles+ also offers new features and benefits which mean little ones can continue to enjoy standing and be part of the action.

The Squiggles+ Stander offers hip abduction of up to 60° in prone, upright and supine standing. The anatomically-correct abduction offered by Squiggles+ stabilises the joint and provides optimum loading for early hip joint development. 60° of hip abduction can be achieved bilaterally in prone, upright or supine. Squiggles+ promotes proper alignment in the hips, knees and feet as pivot points are in line with the hips. Furthermore, the hip laterals on Squiggles+ shift in sync with the child’s leg allowing the hips to abduct and preventing the laterals from digging into the top of the child’s thigh.

The wrap-around knee supports on Squiggles+ increase comfort and support for the user as they distribute pressure and are especially suited to abducted standing. The padded wraps maintain the knee in neutral alignment and can also be rotated to provide extra lateral support to the knee for low tone children. Individually adjustable footplates accommodate leg length discrepancy.

The Squiggles+ also supports transferring with confidence for the child and the carer via larger hip pads and the improved pivot chassis which facilitates full horizontal loading.
