I want to make a Prone Pediatric Stander for me to use that will hold my 195lb body weight standing in the prone position.

 

I want to make a stander like this one.  I am aiming for a 65 degree prone angle for me to stand at.

Is this possible with very very dense box supports?  Should the angle be more like 55 degrees for less weight on the footplates and more on the box supports?

Here is the start of the prone Stander for me to use.

 

It is the footboard.

This is an interesting project. I've always wondered what it would take to create something that could take the weight of a person out of the number of pieces you might have at home. That structure sure looks very strong indeed.

This is pretty interesting idea for a project. I hope you get it to work, it looks pretty strong so far.

Here is the latest update on my stander. The 4th leg has some temporary yellow rod and connector bracing until I can get the needed parts to finish it like the other three supports.
