    Frequently Asked Questions

    How does the Miniwalk Pediatric Gait Trainer compare to other gait trainers?
    When comparing other walkers to the Meywalk and Miniwalk Gait Trainers, please remember that gait is not a linear movement. As a person steps forward, the pelvis moves down in relation to the floor, allowing for heel-strike (which provides stability) and toe-off (which provides forward propulsion). The Meywalk has a unique "spring assist" system which not only allows for this movement, but also assists the user to come back up into the mid-phase of gait.

    Most pediatric and adult gait trainers do not allow for this up and down movement. As a result, users must find atypical ways to elicit forward propulsion, such as "pulling through" or providing lift through their forearms.

    An adult displays approximately 3.9" difference in pelvic height between the mid-phase and toe-off, and most children exhibit 1.5" - 2.5" dependent on their height.

    What is the dynamic gait movement on the Miniwalk gait trainer?
    The Miniwalk gait trainer moves up and down with each step, allowing the user to come down into a heel strike and toe off. As the user steps forward, the spring lifts and assists with the swing through phase of gait.

    How does the Miniwalk gait trainer help develop gait pattern?
    Miniwalk has springs, which make the gait trainer react to the movements of the user during gait. Thereby the child’s muscles are stimulated and the gait pattern is developed. In praxis the upper part of the frame - including seat and trunk support - follows the movements of the user thereby providing optimal support through the various phases of gait.

    Does any other pediatric or adult gait trainer that you are looking at have this capability
    Gait trainers are utilized with a wide variety of diagnosis, including Cerebral Palsy, Post Closed Head Injury, Post CVA, Geriatric Rehab and a variety of other disabilities when strength and equilibrium are compromised.
