The Pacer gait trainer's mobile frame can be used on its own as a simple mobility aid, or with added supports based on the client's needs. The pacer frame is the skeleton to which the appropriate optional prompts are clamped in accordance with the patient's capabilities. Prompts are provided to support the chest, arms, hips, thighs and ankles. With training, reliance upon the prompts should decrease.
The top bar enables the prompts to be clamped anywhere; no prompts are attached permanently. The height of the top bar is adjustable; it's recommended that it be set to the patient's waist level.
