SnoekieActive
Our SnoekieActive is an upright wheeler designed to provide children with all the benefits of supported standing in a device that they can also independently self-propel with. Supported standing assists with controlling severe muscle stiffness, spasms and uncontrolled movements and is a great way for children to interact with their peers.
A Snoekie Active forms an important part of a 24-hour therapeutic posture management programme.
