DetailsThe KAYE Swivel Four Wheeled Wide Posture Control Walkers are designed in a wider width to accommodate children who wear hip-knee-ankle orthoses or who have wide hips and need additional space within the walker frame. The design of the walker makes walking less energy consuming, improves postural alignment and maximizes the potential for walking. Several studies have supported the clinical observations that children with cerebral palsy (CP) have improved posture and gait characteristics when they walk with posture walkers. Other publications describe improvements in alignment, cadence and stride and step length in children who have myelodysplasia, osteogenesis imperfecta, or other musculoskeletal impairments.KAYE Wide Posture Control Walkers place the support behind the user, which requires the person to adapt to a more upright posture and places his center of mass within the base of support of the walker. This helps the user to coordinate rhythm and timing of swing and stance phases of gait when impaired balance prevents independent walking. The four wheels with ratcheted rear wheels that do not roll backwards.
