| A. Standing frame: A. Standing frames: It is very important for a child to stand, especially for the development of stable hip joints and the prevention of contractures. Sadly many children cannot stand independently. Our standing frame supports them so they can play while standing. |
| ||||
| B. Side positioner: If a child is regularly lying in a poor position, it affects spasticity, function and breathing negatively and leads to the development of contractures. The side positioner supports a child in a better position to prevent these problems. | ||||
| C. Posture
chair: It supports a severely disabled child in a good sitting
posture, to prevent deformities and promote function. The cushions and
tilt in space can be used to achieve a well-alligned and
comfortable position. The posture chair is highly adjustable and
“grows” with the child. |   | ||||
| D.
Wheelchair insert: This insert can be fitted into a regular wheelchair.
Based on the same system as the posture chair, it gives all the support
needed for a child who cannot sit with good posture in an ordinary
wheelchair. | ||||
| E.
Reverse rolator (Kaye-type walker): To help children to make their
first steps. The wheels have a special brake that prevents the rolator
from going backwards. Gutters can be fitted for children who cannot
weight-bear on straight arms |

 | F. Benches and tables It is often difficult for children with disabilities to sit on the floor in a good position and they do not have the balance to sit on a high chair. A bench at exactly the correct height for the child, helps them to sit in a better and more stable position, making it easier for them to play, dress, communicate, eat etc. The benches are long so that a carer can sit behind the child and give some support. Tables and benches are height adjustable. | ||||
G. Adjustable
chairs Offering only a limited support, but great adjustability in height and seat depth, these chairs can be usefull for less severely disabled children who have some seating balance. |  | ||||
| H. Sit-to-stand standing frame For heavier children that cannot be easely put into standing, it helps to transfer the person from the wheelchair into a sitting position, and then lift up the person into standing. | ||||
| I. Soft splint Keeps the elbow in extension. For children with flexion pattern of the arms. Because the soft splint is soft, it does not hurt the child and allows flexion with resistance. |  | ||||
| Information to download Above is the equipment that we issue to the children with cerebral palsy. For more detailed information about how and when to isssue which equipment, you can view our pdf file: choice and measurement of equipment A strong emphasis during the therapy sessions with the mothers and children with cerebral palsy is on issuing equipment and teaching mothers how to use it properly. The reason is, that a properly used equipment for 30 days during the month has more effect than a half hour therapy session every month. For more information on our therapy principles, you might want to read this pdf file: some guidelines for therapy How to order Timion works as a ministry, that gives the equipment for free to poor families (in Nelson Mandela Bay and other Eastern Cape areas through affiliates). For families that can afford it or for therapists, schools or other institutions we sell the equipment to very affordable prices. Please check the pricelist to get an idea about the costs: Price list Timion, May 2011 For orders within Nelson Mandela Bay, please use Client Information and Measurement form. 1. PDF version.
