ports the user in a "full weight-bearing"
or a “partial weight-bearing” position to
facilitate walking training on normal ground
or on a treadmill.
Uses a manually operated winch to lift and
lower the user, and to vary the amount of
weight-bearing on the feet when walking.
So it can also be used as a dynamic stand-
ing frame.
The suspension frame is width and height
adjustable so it can be used in different
training environments. The frame is fold-

Conversion Kits
The Conversion Kit attaches to a Kaye
Posture Control Walker and allows it to
function as a “partial weight bearing” or
suspension walker.
The walkers can fold with the suspension
kits attached.
The narrower width of these units allows
greater manoeuvrability indoors, but pre-
vents the units from fitting over treadmills.
For units that fit over treadmills, use the
Treadmill Width Adapter. See page W-13.
These conversion kits are suitable for users
who do not have to be lifted into the unit and if
weight-bearing does not have to be adjusted
