Kaye Walker The Kaye Walker (Posture Control Walker) is designed to make walking less energy consuming whilst improving postural alignment. The Kaye Walker combines a open-fronted, folding aluminium frame with individually height adjustable legs. The legs can be fitted with different wheel or ferrule options to suit both the user's abilities and the environment in which the walker is to be used. The Kaye Walker is used extensively across the globe as both a walking training device and a community walking aid. As a child grows and the walker is adjusted in height, the "footprint" of the walker increases, therefore ensuring that the walker remains stable throughout its useful life. Having an open front to the posture walker reduces the "barrier syndrome" and helps to improve social development, interaction with others, as well as enabling children to get closer to tables and play surfaces. The rear bar is also a key feature of the Kaye Walker™ as it acts as a stimulus on the user's hip extensors, prompting the user to take the next step. |
