More Information

The Gait Harness System by Second Step is available with Practitioners of traditional medicine and sports medicine in mind. Each gait training system comes with 3 gait harnesses in a size small, medium, and large. These harnesses are adjustable around the trunk and thighs for a reliable fit each time. The gait harnesses are comfortable and can be worn for a brief session or all day. The Hand Hold Set Accessory is sold separately.

The intelligent multiple facing design allows patients to be positioned with the forearm support bar located in the front, behind, or on the left and right sides. This unique feature and versatility of the harness straps allow users to position themselves close up to kitchen counters, dining room tables, or other surfaces. When the forearm support center bar is located in front of the patient, there is an increased sense of security and fall safety.

Each Gait Harness System for walking, training, recovery, and more are built with weight-activated brakes as well as individual caster wheel brakes. These weight-activated brakes use spring-loaded pegs that firmly press to the floor when the patient suspends their legs from the ground. Caster wheel brakes are best used for transfers in and out of the harness.

Individual direction locks are applied to caster wheels to guide patients walking in a straight line. This benefits loved ones recovering from a seizure, stroke, imbalance condition, or general injury to the legs or spinal column. When the caster wheels are unlocked, the 360-degree movement is engaged.

For indoor and outdoor use. Walk and engage in the outdoors as long as the ground is level and stable. The GHS can be used daily or in tandem with a treatment regimen. The frame is crafted to withstand use for about 10 years, while many clinics have been successful for 20 plus years. The Gait Harness Systems are easy to clean for the prolonged use and structural health of your GHS.

On top of the height-adjustable support columns lies the padded forearm support top. Height Lock Pins on each side of the frame columns allow for height adjustment. The U-shape and adjustable harness strap allow patients to stand facing any direction. The wide, low base is balanced for enhanced stability.

What Customers Are Saying:

"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"
