Leckey Freestander User Manual - page 7
You should firstly measure the distance from
the user’s feet to just under the arms. This is
best done were practical in a lying position
on a mat. The height between the top of the
chest plate and sandals should be set to the
equivalent of this distance. This will always
be the first adjustment you need to carry out.
To adjust the height of the chest plate,
loosen the bolts (b), adjust to the
required position, then re-tighten the
bolt (a) securely.
The chest plate has a number of other
adjustments that are carried out by loosening
the bolts (a) at the side of the chest plate.
By loosening these bolts the chest plate
can be moved:
1. Forwards and backwards for
body profiling.
2. Up and down for finer, last minute
adjustments to the height of the chest plate.
3. To angle forwards/down or backwards/
up slightly to assist in the positional
management of extension or flexion
respectively.
Never attempt to adjust the height of
the main frame when the stander is in
use.
The knee plate is adjusted in exactly the
same way as the chest plate using
the bolts (a).
Always use caution to ensure fingers do
not become trapped when adjusting the
knee plate.

The knee cups are fixed with the bolts (a) at
the front of the knee block. When this bolt is
loosened, the knee cup can be moved from
left to right and rotated. Once the desired
position is obtained the bolt (a) should be
re-tightened securely.
Always use caution to ensure fingers do
not become trapped when adjusting the
knee cups.
To position the sandals simply loosen the
knob under the footplate (photo 1), select the
position you require and re-fasten the knob.
To position the user’s feet in the sandals
secure the Velcro straps provided so the foot
is held in place. The straps should be placed
over the bridge of the foot and over the
toes. The front strap can be fed through one
of two slots on either side of the sandals,
depending on the size of the user’s feet
(photo 2).
If the child is wearing sandals or light
footwear check the straps to make sure
the webbing does not irritate the skin.
