**4. Criteria for the evaluation of the stander**

The characteristics of both the shape (design, safety, resistance, weight, mobility, esthetics, among others) and the bottom of the standing frame were evaluated with a view to incorporate the changes, modifications and suggestions received by the judges into the final prototype. At the request of one of the evaluators, the researchers made a technical specification sheet, which could unify a technical language that is understandable to the reader. The evaluation was conducted using the following qualification criteria:

*Therapy Approaches in Neurological Disorders*

Based on the prototype, a case study was designed with a 10-year-old patient with myelomeningocele type spina bifida level T12 - L4, the most relevant sequelae of which were bilateral-grade IV/V vesicourethral reflux, flaccid neurogenic bladder in catheterization intermittent from the age of 4 years old, bilateral hydronephrosis, bilateral dysplasia of the hips and coxa varas, flaccid paraplegia,

The researchers understood, assumed and classified this research project as minimal risk, given that other stanchions have been created in the world, which have facilitated the study and description of the risks derived from

These risks include signs of orthostatism, diaphoresis, emesis, pressure zones, allergy to materials, tinnitus, paresthesia, fall, tachycardia, bradypnea or

The benefit derived from the use of the stander was based on the care of the conditions that generally affect people unable to adopt the bipedal position [1]. Therefore, in the cost–benefit ratio, the risks inherent to the research were widely outweighed by the benefits provided by assisted standing in this type of population, being a novel and reasonable orthosis, insofar as it was intended to attend a sequel and a need that the Colombian health system is not prepared to meet and has
