Dynamic.
Ready to go everywhere.
Gait training has come a long way since we introduced our first model in the 1980s, and our Pacer gait trainer continues to evolve to meet our customers’ needs. Over the years, your suggestions have helped us keep our design at the cutting edge for users who need a gait trainer walker or pacer walker.
Why dynamic?
Walking is complex. 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 outcomes. A specialized gait trainer, like the dynamic Pacer gait trainer, helps achieve this positioning and provides the weight bearing and weight shifting needed for a more natural gait pattern and easier stepping.
The Pacer
The Pacer, because it can be configured in so many ways, can accommodate clients of every ability, in any environment. Everything about the Pacer encourages progress so nothing stands between users and the places they want to go. It is the versatility and dependability you have come to expect from Rifton in a gait trainer for adults and children.
The Pacer is easily configured to meet your client’s every need. Choose between dynamic and standard upper frames and pair them with standard or utility bases. Anterior or posterior gait trainer setups are both supported.
