Dynamic Pacer Gait Trainer Green
Walking is a complex function. When we talk about dynamic gait training we refer to the often unobserved but significant shifts of body and weight that occur in typical gait patterns. In the therapy community there is a growing consensus that a well-positioned pelvis in combination with dynamic movement is critical to successful gait training. A specialized gait trainer, like the Rifton Dynamic Pacer, helps achieve this proper positioning and provides the dynamic weight bearing and weight shifting needed for a more natural gait pattern and easier stepping.

Dynamic movement
Walking is dynamic. As we take steps to move through space we make subtle but significant shifts of the body both vertically and laterally. When providing gait training it’s important to accommodate this dynamic movement rather than restrict it.
Choice of two uppers
Dynamic upper frame. A sophisticated, compact mechanism allows this upper frame to float three inches up and down and two inches side-to-side, providing dynamic body support. These powerful features enable the vertical and lateral movements that occur naturally as we shift weight from one leg to the other. If your client doesn’t need such movement they can be locked out independently.
Easy height adjustment
Both our upper frames feature a single telescoping column with a gas spring to make height adjustment easy.
Versatile in every setting – a system built on three bases
Indoors: Better than ever. Our standard base provides exceptional functionality and support in any setting with improved casters and all-new features.
Quick and easy positioning
The Multi-Position Saddle (MPS) is the ultimate positioning accessory for easy transfers and gait training.
The MPS hip corral quickly provides the pelvic stability needed for upper and lower body mobility. Additionally, the MPS has five adjustments for quick and easy pelvic positioning.
The MPS can be used for anterior and posterior gait training.
Smoother transfers
The MPS makes transfers, especially for heavy clients, so much easier (and safer). By placing the upper frame and MPS in their lowest positions you can ease your seated clients onto the saddle.
A measurable improvement
No more counting tiles! Now available on every Dynamic Pacer base as an option, Rifton’s new odometer makes it easy to record client progress in any setting, in either feet or meters.
Our best casters just got better
Really good isn’t good enough when it comes to mobility, so we took your advice and made our acclaimed casters work even harder.
You said you could use foot-actuated swivel locks. We agreed.
You asked for improved swivel with low turning resistance. We listened. No one else makes a caster like Rifton.
Variable drag: Made with the same material used in automotive brakes, our variable drag feature gives you greater control with the simple twist of a dial.
Old Pacer prompts attach on new frame!
Prompts and supports – such as the new arm supports and old chest support – attach anywhere along the Pacer frame’s top bars.
Easily transportable
Our detachable upper frame makes it easy to stow and transport the new Dynamic Pacer. Separable components allow you to bring the right base for each client and every setting.
