"I have a group of patients at a facility who were all told they would never walk againafter using the Gait Harness System, only two now use a wheelchair as their primary locomotion. I use the GHS daily with almost all my patients. I have had great success using the GHS with and without braces with tetras and paras of all levels. The unique harness is extremely comfortable, works very well with the braces, and reduces the number of seated rest breaks with any standing activity. The GHS allows for reinforcement of newly learned gait patterns, in a real-world situation. The GHS has allowed our program to be very challenging, efficient, and safe at the same time. Many of the higher level activities would require two or three staff members if it were not for the GHS. I cannot say enough about the ease of use and its ability to reduce the fear of falling. - William Thornton MPT, Level 11 Physical Therapy Clinics founder, Holly MI"
"I viewed several of your YouTube videos and was astounded. In 25 years of working with disabled elders and non-geriatric adults, Ive never seen a Gait Harness System or other device so revolutionary. Ill spread the word to my nationwide network of professional colleagues. - Richard OToole MSW, President of Informed EldercareDecisions, Inc., nationally published author and speaker, Boston MA"
"When properly secured in the GHS, the resident is completely supported, without need for caregiver assistance. Mobility activities can be performed relatively hands-free. The residents confidence is restored, which can be a huge barrier removed. The therapist is now able to fine-tune the residents mobility and address weakness and other gait deviations. - Linda Horn, PT, NCS, Inpatient PT Coordinator, St. Agnes Healthcare, Baltimore MD"
"The Gait Harness System is a truly marvelous device that could no doubt help thousands of people actually regain their mobility, not just spend the rest of their lives being pushed around in a wheel chair or riding on a scooter. - Joe Mitchell, Financial Aid Center for Long Term Care, Inc., Grants Pass OR"
"The Second Step program is most creative. It provides much-needed rehabilitation support for individuals with disabilities in long-term care facilities. Wishing you every success. - Margaret Giannini M.D., F.A.A.P, Director, Office on Disability, Health and Human Services, Washington DC"
"I am suggesting my patients get a Second Step GHS device to them, because we know that over-ground training gives the best recovery results. - Carlos Lima MD, Department of Neurology, Hospital de Egas Moniz, Lisbon, Portugal"
"The GHS promotes a faster gait velocity, which is difficult to do with over-ground ambulation. I have found benefits using the GHS with amputee patients, who are fearful of falling, as it can promote less dependence on the parallel bars. I have observed the Gait Harness System may reduce anxiety and fear of falling, and improve motivation. - Debbie Pitsch, PT, Palo Alto Polytrauma Rehabilitation Center, VA Palo Alto Health Care System, Palo Alto CA"
"I have a client with a brain stem injury whos spent 16 years in a wheelchair. I couldnt find the right equipment on the web. Then voila! Yesterday a colleague said hed found it. I think hes right. My client has watched the videos and is excited. It looks like the GHS will really get him moving. We are really pleased to have found your website and are glad you can help. - Dru M., Physiotherapist, Queensland Australia"
