Etac R82, a leading manufacturer of ergonomic assistive equipment for disabled children and adults, will be launching its new R82 Rabbit Up mobile standing frame at Kidz to Adultz Middle.

Stand D1. Ericsson Exhibition Hall, Ricoh Arena, Coventry CV6 6GE

Free entry and parking. Open 9:30am – 4:30pm.

The R82 Rabbit Up is a new prone frame that provides both static and mobile standing. Encompassing the outstanding design quality, adaptability and aesthetics of all R82 products, the Rabbit Up provides greater flexibility and freedom for young users. Its robust design is suitable for use indoors and out and includes self-propel removable wheels for independent mobility. The wheels have been considerately designed with closed push rims and an adjustable camber angle for easier propulsion – enhanced by a narrow frame for better maneuverability. When a stationary position is required, the wheels can quickly be removed by a caregiver or parent, so ergonomic access to school desks and play tables is possible.

The Rabbit Up facilitates eye level engagement with able bodied children hence promoting greater participation and inclusion

Through its adaptable prone support, children benefit from standing therapy and the ability to enhance motor skills and upper body muscle function. This exercise is increased with the addition of self-propel wheels whilst safety is assured with four stabilising castors. Independence provides greater opportunity to explore and enjoy new experiences – vital for positivity and well-being. The R82 Rabbit Up can be configured to suit the individual needs of children aged one to eighteen and is available in four sizes.

Alongside the Rabbit Up at Kidz Middle, Etac R82 will be demonstrating several examples from its award-winning equipment range for children. These will include the best-selling x:panda seating system, dynamic Meerkat stander and Mustang anterior/posterior gait trainer.
