MORE SPECIFICALLY, THE APPROPRIATE
USE OF MINI STANDY CAN FACILITATE:
the experience of alternative postures with
respect to those that the pathology makes
“obligatory” or “semi-obligatory”
and the
correct positioning of the joints with the
possibility of introducing controlled and
modulated variations
(Fig. 4) : all this helps
prevent deformities;
the training of the anti-gravity muscles;
the control and straightening of the head,
facilitated by the decreased gravity-opposing
effort of the trunk thanks to the adjustable
pectoral support, which can be removed when
there is sufficient trunk control
(Fig. 4);
the programmed control of labyrinthine-
vestibular function disturbances;
the experience of manual activities guided by sight , with the possibility of integrating the visual
information deriving from objects with that coming from one’s own body in a correct posture.
Thus, the possibility of, first, globally grasping, capturing and exploring and, then, selectively
manipulating objects through simple or complex constructive activities.
This is facilitated by the fact that the upper limbs are constrained by protective and support
functions.
IN ADDITION, AN ERECT POSITION:
A.
INCREASES RESPIRATORY CAPACITY due to the increased ventilation and reduced
obstructive phenomena;
B.
FACILITATES PERISTALSIS;
C.
FACILITATES CIRCULATORY FUNCTIONS.
Most of all, it is important to emphasize that
MINI STANDY is an INSTRUMENT FOR INCREASING
THE CHILD'S ABILITY TO ADAPT TO THE ENVIRONMENT , i.e., to actively interact with the
surrounding world.
All this induces an
INCREASE OF PERSONAL AUTONOMY , i.e., the possibility of relating to oneself,
others and the physical environment: the ability to “put oneself in contact with” .
