This is Noah in the Spider Cage at Napa (part of the MultiFunctional Therapy Unit - MTU). You can see 4 bungee cords attached to him (at a belt around his waist) and the cage. The cords help keep him positioned correctly while the therapist works with him on sitting, head control, and weight-bearing on his arms and shoulders. Looks simple but is a lot of work for Noah and very tiring. BTW - This is referred to as the spider cage due to 8 bungees usually being used to assist the patient.
