Therapeutic Benefits to Walkers & Gait Trainers

Therapeutic Benefits of Walkers and Gait Trainers

Assistive devices like special needs walkers and gait trainers help individuals walk and become more independent.  Combined with other methods of therapy like range of motion, balance and strengthening, they can make a real impact on mobility and quality of life. There is nothing more gratifying than observing a child gain the ability to walk for the first time!


Watch and experience the joy these kids are displaying as they take steps supported by their Leckey MyWay+ gait trainers.


It's wonderful observing an individual regain the ability to walk after some type of accident or injury (e.g., traumatic brain injury, stroke, spinal cord injury, etc.)
