The NF-Walker is a gait trainer that allows children, with even very low motor function, to stand and walk independently while keeping their hands free. This initiates better social interaction and participation in everyday activities. In addition, through more mobility the level of physical activity is increased and time spent being sedentary reduced, which has shown to have positive health effects.
The unique aspect of NF-Walker is the brace system, which provides the user with exceptional support and correction for both the upper body and legs. This ensures proper positioning and enables walking even for children with significant disabilities. The brace system also ensures weight-bearing on the joints and through the feet.
