February 17, 2022 by María Inés Seyler
At Loh Medical we continue to incorporate more and more options for our customers. Today I am going to talk to you about two excellent options that we offer for learning and working on walking: MyWay and Pacer.
Walking is one of the main objectives in the day-to-day rehabilitation of many of our clients. In addition to being a milestone of advanced development, it is a great goal that everyone with disabilities, as well as the people supporting them, wants to achieve.
Many times, in order to work on walking, the assistance of a gait trainer is necessary to provide stability, safety, variability of supports and adjustments, adequate design and functionality.
MyWay is an excellent option for those who need trunk and head support to be able to maintain a standing position. The revolutionary trunk harness provides the necessary stability to help with trunk and head control to allow movement of the extremities. MyWay offers an open front frame so you can freely use your lower limbs for play and also gives your upper limbs freedom.
Pacer is an aircraft-grade aluminum gait trainer offered for all ages from 12 months to senior. It is an excellent product with multiple adjustments that offer solutions for all needs. You can control scissor gait, low muscle tone, stride length, and even spasticity. It offers 4 options for arm support and 4 options for pelvic support, as well as various colors and sizes. It has been on the market since 1977 (45 years ago) and has been helping children and adults to walk since then.
Both pieces of equipment are excellent options for learning and improving your gait. MyWay offers head support and an open frame at the front, its innovative trunk support system gives a lot of stability and control, allowing cases that require a greater need for support to have the experience of working on the go. Pacer offers gait training for someone who is looking for adjustments and variability of. It can be configured as simply as the frame alone, or it can offer maximum control for different needs with the addition of the wide variety of support accessories.
