Walking Aids
Arrow Walker & Prairie Walker
The Arrow Walker and its outdoor version - Prairie Walker
is designed to assist user to move independently. It is ideal to use
for gait training, especially for those to take their first steps. Both
walkers provide a low profile; very stable base yet allows easy
access through doorways and around obstacles. The directional
locking castors allow the user to walk on a planned course. An
‘in-line’ trunk support system offers three support pads - chest
pad and two curved lateral thoracic pads which can adjust to
accommodate different sizes of user or swing away to enable easier
transfer. The adjustable leg Abductor can be removed if not
required or adjusted to suit the user’s gait pattern. To maintain
good head and upper trunk control, the comfortably padded and
adjustable forearm support can be tilted upward or downward.
The handgrips can be extended or rotated to suit the user. The
trunk control unit can be tilted forward in relation to the feet.
The walker can be packed flat and the arrow outriggers can be
removed making it easier for transportation and storage.
Options:
Pelvic Pad – A padded support, which can be adjusted in height
and depth to support the user in optimum position.
Horizontal Grab Bar – enables user wearing arm splints to fix
onto the padded bar to help maintain good upper trunk and
head control.
