HIP Scapula Support
The scaupla support attachment accessory is exceptional in supporting the upper body in cases of ATNR and high tone.
Low tone cases also benefit from the scapula support, as it gives the user a more secure environment which encourages them to stand more upright and as a result, increase activity.

Testimonials
I prescribe Medifab HIP standing frames for a number of my disabled paediatric clients, and I frequently choose these frames for the following advantages:
- The chest and pelvic supports surround the child's trunk offering more security and symmetrical positioning.
- The tray tables are removable in order to place the child nearer to other work surfaces, e.g. tables, kitchen benches and water troughs for preschool water play.
- The HIP 101 and 121 are height adjustable to allow the child to be positioned at the level of their peers, or at a different work surface height. The HIP accommodates most children with Cerebral Palsy, (both spastic quadriplegics and children with Dystonial Athetoid cerebral palsy).
- HIP standing frames are a practical size to use in classrooms. Several of the children that I work with use them in their preschool, primary, high school and home settings.
