Designed to achieve the best position for gait training. The key to optimal positioning is the placement and length of the four attachment straps. The unique, suspended design of the Pacer’s hip positioner permits the natural pelvic movement and lower extremity weight-shifting that therapists want to see in their clients’ gait.
- Raise the handholds and shorten the straps for partial weight-bearing gait training
- Lower the handholds and lengthen the straps for use as a safety sling
- To keep the user’s pelvis midline, and behind the shoulders, attach the anterior straps farther back on the Pacer frame
- The hip positioner pad, sold separately, slips over the hip positioner to give cushioned comfort
- The hip positioner is sold with one pair of handholds
