Billy is а 2 yeаr оld child whо hаs a diagnоsis of cerebral palsy (spastic quadriparesis, Gross Motor Function Classification Scale level IV). He demonstrates extensor spasticity in bilateral adductors, hamstrings, heelcords, biceps, and wrist flexors. The child is able to sit statically, independently with posterior pelvic tilt, forward head posture and thoracic kyphosis on a stable surface for 30 seconds without loss of balance. The physical therapist is beginning to work with the child on standing at a support surface with maximal assistance. The child demonstrates poor selective control of his hands with fisting bilaterally, especially with increased cognitive demand with motor tasks. To work on a small range of motor control to begin with, the physical therapists plans to have the child seated over the therapists leg or over a pummel with the child’s bilateral lower extremities positioned in 90 degrees of hip and knee flexion and facilitate forward pelvic tilt and weight shift for a sit to stand transition at a bench through a small range of motion. The therapist is hoping to have the child work on increasing standing endurance as pre-gait activities. Which of the following equipment recommendations would be your top priority to support the therapist's goal of increased standing tolerance?
