Functional benefits
Bright and Friendly
The diagnosis of a child with special needs is often very upsetting for families who may struggle to come to terms with all this can mean. Parents and carers can sometimes find it hard to accept the help and equipment their child needs at this difficult time. With this in mind, the Jenx Monkey has been carefully styled to offer the best in early intervention support in a gentle, bright and friendly way. Parents often comment on the huge difference the thoughtful design of the Jenx Monkey has in helping them accept and use standing equipment for their very young children.
Angle Adjustment
Each child will have a slightly different posture in standing and need slightly different support. The angle of the support surface can be adjusted from 20 degrees prone through to upright, 90 degrees. And, because the adjustment is infinite, Monkey can be set to exactly the right angle for each individual child. This means a child’s progress can be monitored and the angle of the board altered in line with changes in their ability.
Comfortable Upholstery
Fully upholstered chest, hip and leg boards help make standing more comfortable for children, which helps to increase their tolerance of standing too. A happier and more comfortable child will spend longer standing and more time reaping the benefits of all standing offers.
Flexible Growth
The chest and hip boards can be independently altered and fixed allowing you to exactly accommodate the proportions of each child.
Thoughtful Design
Adjustable and Safe Hip & Chest Straps. The innovative straps close in the centre and are adjusted at each end for length independently of each other. By adjusting the straps in this way you can ensure the child is positioned symmetrically – helping to keep them upright and comfortable and maximising the benefits of standing.
In addition, buckles and velcro mean that once adjusted correctly, the straps can be fixed making it difficult for siblings or classmates to tamper with and keeping everything looking neat and tidy!
Quick, Simple and Easy to Use
There are many reasons why the Jenx Monkey is probably the most popular infant prone stander available! Monkey comes as a complete unit meaning that what you receive out of the box is ready to be easily set up (with very few adjustments required) for your child and start using!
PU Support Pads
All support pads on the Monkey are made of PU for hygiene and ease of cleaning.

Testimonials
Frank is 15 months old and after contracting GBS Meningitis at birth, now has Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy. He has recently received his first piece of postural support equipment – Monkey by Jenx.
The Monkey by Jenx is an ideal fun and gentle introduction to standing. Offering smooth and easy angle adjustment, even with the child in the product, the Monkey can go from upright, right down to 20 degrees prone.
“Frank absolutely loves his new Monkey and loves seeing the world from a new perspective whilst in the stander!”.
The angle adjustable tray is provided as standard with a bowl and infill, allows Frank to enjoy a wide variety of different activities, both in and out doors.
Not only does it allow Frank to have a new perspective, it gives Frank’s mother a safe and secure place to allow him to relax and play, providing him with more independence. This gives Frank’s mother additional time to complete daily chores, something which she has been unable to do since he was born.
Along with his Monkey, Frank also has a Jenx Corner Seat, offering him support in long sitting, whilst being kept well positioned, with his hips neatly back in the seat.
Child’s name: Child A
Child’s condition: Hydrocephalus, prematurity resulting in prolonged hospital stay from birth
Product: Jenx Monkey Stander
Therapist: R Parslow (Physiotherapist)
Background: Child A was born prematurely with complex needs resulting in a prolonged 18 month stay in hospital. Once home child A was on home O², PEG fed and presenting developmental delay. He has moderate head control, some trunk activity, but no independent sitting balance.
Description of product trialled: Child A has been using a Jenx Monkey Stander for one month.
General and Emotional benefits: Child A is able to practice weight bearing and ensure better hip development and bone density. Plus the change of position gives Child A greater access to the world and interaction on that level. As Child A is very small even though nearly 2 years old, sandal raising blocks were needed to ensure the appropriate level of support and a good stand are achieved. The stander has also meant reduced physical support required to be provided by Mum, allowing her to play with Child A on better level, making both mum and Child A much happier.
Conclusion: A smaller size would have been perfect, but overall very happy with the Monkey stander and found it easy to use and adjust.
