Why standing is so important
No child is born to lie flat or just sit for the rest of their life. Rather the contrary! All human body functions are optimized for the vertical, all human organs function “downwards”. Therefore, young children have an innate urge to sit up and walk. All physio-motor developmental steps (grasping, rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, walking) only follow this goal. They are the prerequisite for interaction with their fellow human beings. What children then experience with and through their motor skills is a veritable firework of sensory impressions that trigger psychic, physical, cognitive and social learning. At the same time they experience the interaction of cause and effect, task and solution, motivation and reward.
From grabbing to grasping – from standing to understanding
The child moves (mobilizes) and perceives with his senses. It imitates, remembers, tries, compares, changes and improves. Then it becomes autonomous, it discovers, invents and finally expresses feelings about these experiences. Cognitive development depends on the motor and vice versa. Our language very clearly reflects this connection by using word stems from motor skills for cognitive skills: to understand, to recognize, to grasp, to experience, to perceive.
Vestibular stimulation in early fostering
Significantly responsible for this correlation is the only few millimeters large balance organ in the inner ear – the vestibule. Only by stimulating the vestibule do babies discover the subject of spatial perception – and with it the control of their motor function. Through vestibular stimulation, they learn to differentiate between top / bottom, back / front, they learn side regulation, balance and reflex control and, as a result, a controlled muscle tone – the basis of all conscious motor skills. The crucial development phase is between the 10th and 15th month.
Of course, all body supports can be finely adjusted to the patient, whereby a controllable load on the skeleton is made possible. At the same time, the ligaments, tendons and muscles are gently stimulated – even those outside of one’s own perception or control. The entire metabolism, the cardiovascular system, breathing and digestion are stimulated and stabilized. Boogie Drive is suitable for early support (from 70 cm height) and is available in several frame sizes (up to about 150 cm in height).
