9.4 Adjustment to
accommodate the
contracture angle
If possible, adjustment of the swinging
footplate on the Mygo stander should
be performed when the client is out
of the stander. However there may be
circumstances where it is necessary or
preferable to adjust the angle of the swinging
footplate with the client in the stander. This
process requires two competent persons;
one to make the adjustments and one to
assess the comfort of the client during the
adjustment, and is best performed with the
stander in a horizontal position.
In upright or prone standing:
Assess the client's range of movement,
muscle tone, etc, on a plinth and determine
the optimum standing posture before
positioning the client in the stander. Position
the client in the Mygo stander. While carefully

supporting the head and shoulders, move
the client into a horizontal position. Open the
knee straps and sandal straps. Loosen the
Allen (a) bolt on both sides of the swinging
footplate ensuring the weight of the user's
knees are supported by a carer, adjust the
angle of the swinging footplate as necessary,
always taking care to assess the client's
comfort, and retighten the bolts securely.
Then secure the knee straps and sandal
straps. Return the client to prone standing
position.
In supine standing:
Assess the client's range of movement,
muscles tone, etc, on a plinth and determine
the optimum standing posture before
positioning the client in the stander. Position
the client in the Mygo stander and move it
into a horizontal position. Open the knee
straps and sandal straps. Loosen the
Allen bolt (a) on both sides of the swinging
footplate ensuring the weight of the user's
knees are supported by a carer, adjust the
