They have different benefits and purposes and children who are delayed in standing and walking should have access to both. Paleg et al, (2013) state the following guidelines: Standing programs can be safely started as early as 9 to 10 months of age., Stand at least 45 to 60 minutes daily; 60 minutes is optimal to increase hip, knee, and ankle ROM, Sixty degrees of total bilateral hip abduction improves abduction ROM, but an optimal angle has not been established.
