24-7 Medical Banner Stander and Walkers

Standers and walkers

A selection of standers and walkers/gait trainers and prone/supine standing frames and tables for both adults and children. Stander and walkers are a type of assistive device that may enable non-ambulant children and adults with disabilities to walk independently and promote improvements in bowel function, bone mineral density (BMD), mobility, independence, participation and social function. Pediatricians and doctors were surveyed about walker knowledge, attitudes, and practice. Advising about walkers was associated with working in community pediatrics, treating walker-related injuries, knowing about walkers, and promoting positive attitudes towards walker health.
