Rifton Pacer gait trainers provide support in learning to walk, maintaining momentum, and building muscle control. Such gait training has been shown to improve cognition, muscle development, and skeletal growth.

The Rifton Pacer gait trainer is renowned for its modular design, durability, and flexibility. Features include:

  • Prompts mount anywhere; no tools required
  • Simple two-handed height adjustment in 1" increments
  • Innovative casters with separate swivel lock, brake, variable drag and one-way ratchet control
  • Fits easily in car trunks and through 32" door frames
  • Easy rear access for transfers from Rifton SoloLift
  • Clients can face either way (posterior or anterior)
  • Pelvic support for more natural gait
  • Optional Small arm prompt set include height, rotation, angle, lateral proximity and forward/backward adjustments
  • Optional small handlebars attaches on the top bar of any pacer, are lightweight and easy to adjust
  • Optional handloops are secure and highly adjustable and boost a sense of stability while moving
  • Optional Small Chest Prompt holds the torso at the desired angle using the tilt adjustment forward or backward in 15 degree increments
  • Optional Small Pelvic Support with handholds permits the natural pelvic movement and lower extremity weight-shifting in gait
  • Optional Small hip positioner helps to acheive the best position for gait training
  • Optional Small hip positioner pad provides cushioned comfort and is used with small hip positioner
  • Optional mini ankle prompts for standard base help with stride length and control stride placement
  • Optional Handholds are ergonomically designed, height-adjustable and rotate in four directions
  • Optional Communication tray holds most communication devices or other small objects
  • Optional Guide bar rotates at 180 degrees to help pull either from the front or push from behind the Pacer
  • Optional Accessory Tote Bag made of black ballistic nylon with a zippered top to keep all of your Pacer accessories together

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.
