SUSPENSION CONVERSION KITS

• The Conversion Kit attaches to a Kaye 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 prevents the units from fitting over treadmills. For units that fit over treadmills, use the Treadmill Width Adapter
• 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 when walking. For heavier users who must be lifted into the unit, or if weight-bearing needs to be adjusted when walking, it would be better to use the Suspension Walkers
• To use with Kaye Suspension Harnesses
