Walking is a complicated and important action that we often take for granted. Some of our clients may have the ability to walk, but need some extra assistance of gait trainers. With help from your therapist and a gait trainer, these devices can provide a number of health benefits, including: an increase in muscle and bone growth, a correction of gait irregularity, and increased renal function.

Rifton has a reputation for quality, which comes from their experience in the industry. In the 1980s, Rifton introduced their first gait trainer. Since then, products like the Pacer have been helping our clients to achieve proper positioning while walking. These devices help the user to better understand the process of walking, and develop a healthier gait pattern.
