About Your Lite

Gait®

Lite

Gait®

 

is comprised of several parts. 

YOKE

:  Y-shaped support that has four female buck-

les at the ends and is attached to the actuator with a 
flat plate secured by four bolts. 

OVERHEAD STRAPS

:  Four 44” long adjustable straps 

with male connectors at one end and padded female 
buckles  at  the  opposite  end.    The  male  connectors 
attach  to  the  yoke  buckles  and  the  female  buckles 
attach to the harness providing postural support for 
the patient. 

HARNESS/GROIN  PIECE

:    Adjustable  wrap  with  a 

buckle  closure  in  the  front  and  three  adjustable 
straps on each side.  The four male connectors at the 
top of the harness that attach into the female buck-
les of the overhead straps.  The four female buckles 
at  the  bottom  of  the  harness  allow  for  the  connec-
tion  of  the  groin  piece.    The  H-shaped  stitching  on 
the groin piece denotes the top (or body side) of the 
piece. 

ACTUATOR

:    The  mechanism  that  raises  and  lowers 

the  yoke.    The  actuator  consists  of  a  concentric  ex-
panding and retracting square tower that houses the 
DC  motors,  gearing  and  the  screw  mechanism.    It 
also provides the structural base to which the adjust-
able handlebars are attached. 

CONTROL  UNIT

:    Junction box  mounted  in  the  base 

for the battery power, handheld switch and contains 
electrical safety protection circuitry. The battery pack 
connects  to  this  unit  and  is  also  located  within  a 
compartment of the actuator.   

HANDLEBARS

:    Unit  has  two  adjustable  handlebars.   

The  handle  bars  are  attached  to  the  unit  using  two 
knobs.  

BASE

:  Two  horizontal  bars  connected  by  two  U-

shaped tubes. The base moves freely over ground or 
can be locked into place during use over a treadmill.  
However,  your  unit  must  be  locked  into  place  at  all 
other times. 

CASTERS

:  Four casters are attached to the base.  The 

two casters on the left side are total locking and the 
two  casters  on  the  right  are  directional  locking.  Be 
certain  to  lock  both  caster  brakes  when  using  the 
unit over a treadmill or when connecting the patient 
to the unit.   

BISYM (Optional)

:  Provides a display of the pounds/

kilograms  of  support  provided  by  each  arm  of  the 
yoke.    The  load  cells  that  are  installed  in  the  yoke 
sense the load on the yoke and feed it to the BiSym 
Scale for processing and display. 

NOTE: Over tightening the knobs may cause damage. 

WARNING: NEVER leave patient unattended in the unit.
