R82 Meerkat
The R82 Meerkat by Etac is a modular paediatric standing frame designed to support children in an upright position while encouraging movement, exploration and participation in everyday activities. It can be configured for anterior or posterior standing, allowing therapists and carers to adapt the setup to the child’s individual postural and developmental needs. Adjustable supports for the chest, pelvis, knees and feet help provide stability while maintaining opportunities for active movement. The low entrance height facilitates transfers, while a ratchet adjustment system enables quick, secure positioning in small increments without tools. Optional rocker accessories introduce controlled movement to encourage weight shifting and balance activities. Growth-adjustable components allow the frame to accommodate changing needs over time, with three sizes available for different user heights and weights. The Meerkat is suitable for use in therapy, educational and home environments under appropriate professional guidance.
