Rifton Medium Pacer Gait Trainer (K630)

Introducing the Rifton Medium Pacer, a newly redesigned dynamic gait trainer designed for boundless mobility. This exciting new model, eagerly presented as part of the Rifton family, integrates the classic Pacer's structure with the complexity of traditional gait patterns. At the core of the Pacer's innovation is a positive feedback loop that adapts responsively to the user's steps, enhancing the natural feel of walking. It supports crucial gait functions such as single-leg shifting and weight bearing, thanks to its flexible frame design. The Dynamic Pacer aims to boost users' walking confidence and strength, offering an intuitive and independent experience. Features *Shown with options and accessories Dual Base System Our standard base features upgraded casters and improvements that deliver exceptional support and functionality. Designed for smooth surfaces, it efficiently moves users indoors and outdoors. Height Adjustment A single button triggers the gas spring, allowing for effortless height adjustments. Releasing the button securely locks the height in place Quantifiable Progress Forget the old way of counting tiles! Available as an option on every Pacer base, Rifton’s new odometer makes it simple to track progress in any environment, measuring in both feet and meters. Easy Portability Our detachable upper frame simplifies the process of storage and transport. With separable components, you can easily choose the appropriate base for each user and every situation. Effortless Precision in Positioning The single-column upper frame features a locking gas spring that facilitates height adjustments along the indexed column. By pressing a button, you can release the gas spring, allowing for smooth height changes. Once the button is released, it locks securely at the chosen height. The column is indexed to allow for quick and accurate adjustments tailored to each user's specific height needs. The Multi-Position Saddle (MPS) is the optimal device for pelvic positioning. It is adjustable in five distinct directions to accommodate the unique posture needs of each user. Designed for seamless integration, the MPS easily attaches to both dynamic and standard upper frames. By using the fluid height adjustments of the MPS and upper frame, the seat can be lowered sufficiently to facilitate a transfer from a seated position. Once the transfer is completed, caregivers raise the upper frame to bring the user into an upright position. With the tilt adjustment on the MPS, caregivers position the user's pelvis to achieve the most effective gait pattern. Using the height adjustment on the MPS, caregivers lift the user's pelvis to the ideal height for weight-bearing and taking steps. The Benefits   Enhanced Mobility The Pacer gait trainer aids in proper pelvis positioning and dynamic movement, which are crucial for effective gait training. Natural Gait Encouragement Using a specialized gait trainer like the Pacer facilitates dynamic weight-bearing and shifting, promoting a more natural walking pattern and easier stepping. Versatile Fit The large dynamic Pacer can be customized to fit users of various abilities in any setting, enhancing accessibility and progress. Adaptive Design The Pacer offers options to choose from dynamic or standard upper frames combined with various bases, catering to the unique needs of each user. Goal-Oriented Progress The Pacer's flexible configurations and robust design support continual user progress, helping them achieve their mobility goals.   Critical Pelvis Positioning Dynamic gait training emphasizes the importance of a well-positioned pelvis, which is essential for successful walking rehabilitation. Dynamic Movement Walking is inherently dynamic. As we navigate space, we execute subtle yet crucial shifts both vertically and laterally. It's essential to support this dynamic movement during gait training instead of impeding it. Utility Base Navigate easily over thresholds, thick carpets, or even outdoor terrains like gravel and grass with the large-wheeled utility base. This enhancement expands accessibility to places previously unattainable. Go Minimal For higher-functioning users, the Pacer chest pad combined with handlebars offers a lightweight setup. These components, available in small, medium, and large sizes, facilitate easy transfers and swift adjustments. Reverse the MPS The MPS is engineered to support the reversal of the saddle, facilitating gait practice with the frame positioned at the back. Note: It is advisable to use the standard base for posterior positioning. Reversing the utility base complicates steering and disables the directional lock feature. Which Size is Right for You?
