bearing, all with a natural sit to stand transition reducing fear and
anxiety in the user. |

The current back
height on the magician is 11” from the seat. If you need something
different remember we have a custom modification department that has

|
| Q.
|
Do you make a
hydraulic pump for the magician? |
|
A. |
No, The EasyStand
Magician uses a gas spring assisted lift to bring your child into a
standing position instead of a hydraulic pump. However, if your child is
at least 4' tall, they may fit into the EasyStand 5000 Youth,
which uses a hydraulic pump so that your child can stand independently.
|
| Q.
|
What does prone &
supine mean? |
|
A. |
Prone – lying on the
stomach or face down. Supine- lying face up or on the back side of the
body. The EasyStand Magician is an upright stander, which provides
better weight bearing than prone or supine standers. The Magician also
encourages peer level interaction in the natural upright position.
|
| Q.
|
Why is it better for
kids to stand in an upright stander? |

When medically
possible upright standing is preferred as it allows more weight to be
directed into the feet and legs. |
