R82 Crocodile Walker Gait Trainer

The R82 Crocodile Walker Gait Trainer is designed to focus on safety, mobility, and balance. A basic model is delivered with adjustable handles, lockable wheels, anti-rollback and tension adjustment on the rear wheels. There are three sizes available. Size 1 is intended for two to nine-year-olds under 66-lbs, under 45-inches and is available in sunshine yellow. Size 2 is meant to be used by six to fifteen-year-olds under 60-inches, under 100-pounds, and is available in a healthy orange color and a metallic black. The largest model, Size 3, is metallic grey and is intended for seven-year-olds to adults under 71-inches and under 172-pounds.

The included anti-reverse wheels turn on and off to prevent a child from rolling backward. This safety measure is easy to change and is beneficial for children with limited balance and control. Since the handles and overall height are adjustable, this gait trainer will grow alongside them as they continue to grow. The rotational handle adjustment allows for a custom fit of the user. The handles and frame are marked with height increments for an accurate adjustment.

This walking amenity for children or adults living with special needs is placed behind the user. This creates a feeling of freedom and mobility versus a feeling of constriction compared to trainer models that are placed in front. The lightweight frame produces an upright position when walking and is easily dismantled for storage or vehicle transport. The sizes are 12, 14, and 26.5-pounds respectively for size 1, 2, and 3.

A red knob on the rear wheels lets you control the amount of rolling friction to make the trainer either roll smoothly or to slow the childs speed down. Front caster wheels rotate 360-degrees or they can be locked for single direction use.

Optional beneficial accessories are available to aid in any personal support. There are two seat options. One is wide and flips down; the other is a sling seat that fits around and under the user. An array of pelvic support is available in the form of a pelvic pad with lateral pads, hip supports for both sides, and a waist strap and pelvic padding. For back support, there is an angle and width adjustable contoured, large pad or a back support strap. The third size trainer is the only one with a supportive crossbar. The frame can be equipped with optional forearm supports with handgrips, padded forearm positioners, handle knobs, swing-away anti-tip device, fixed anti-tip device, and handbrakes. By adding the handbrakes you lose the anti-rollback feature in the basic model. There are storage bags available as well.
