A gait trainer is a wheeled device that assists a person who is unable to walk independently to learn or relearn to walk safely and efficiently as part of gait training. Gait trainers are intended for children or adults with physical disabilities, to provide the opportunity to improve walking ability. A gait trainer offers both unweighting support and postural alignment to enable gait practice. It functions as a support walker and provides more assistance for balance and weight-bearing, than does a traditional rollator walker, or a walker with platform attachments. It also provides opportunities to stand and to bear weight in a safe, supported position.
A gait trainer for the elderly
This utility model relates to the field of rehabilitation equipment technology, and in particular to an elderly gait trainer, comprising a base frame and adjustable handrails on the front and rear sides of the base frame. Each handrail includes a guide frame fixed to the front and rear sides of the base frame, a movable plate, a handrail rod on the top surface of the movable plate, a rack fixed to the middle of the guide frame, a pawl rotatably mounted on the movable plate and engaging with the rack, and a spring mounted on the movable plate for engaging the pawl with the rack. When the handrail height needs to be adjusted, pulling the handrail rod upwards causes the pawl on the movable plate to move upwards, separating it from the teeth on the rack. After the handrail rod is adjusted to the appropriate height, the pawl re-engages with the rack under the action of the spring, fixing the movable plate and handrail rod in place. This allows for quick adjustment of the handrail rod height, enabling users of different heights to adjust quickly, solving the problem that existing handrails require adjustment via tightening screws, resulting in slow and inconvenient adjustment.
