Using Your Lite

Gait®

  

FlexAble 

FlexAble allows for the rigid yoke to become position 
flexible, with up to 5 inches of travel. Thus, you can 
maintain the rigid yoke position 

or 

make it flexible – 

giving  the  patient the option  to  experience  more  of 
their balance and weight bearing at their own discre-
tion.

 

Flexible Support 

Loosen the star knob on the bottom of the FlexAble. 
The  amount  of  deflection  can  be  varied  by  the 
amount the knob is loosened

 

Rigid Support 

Tighten  the  star  knob  completely  on  the  bottom  of 
the FlexAble 

Actuated Height Adjustment 

The LiteGait

®

 powered actuator column is raised and 

lowered  by  a  hand  switch  with  one  up  and    one 
down arrow.

Manual Yoke Adjustment 

The  LiteGait®  200P  and  300P  yoke  utilizes  the  EZ 
Yoke  Height  Adjustment  assembly.  To  adjust  yoke 
height  support    yoke  arm  assembly  and  pull  out 
spring pin. Once spring pin is pulled out, yoke height 
should be easily adjusted. Once yoke is at the desired 
height  align  spring  pin  with  closest  hole  in  the  back 
of the column to secure yoke in position. 

 

NOTE:  With  the  FlexAble  or  flexible,  the  LiteGait® 
yoke  and  harness  still  provide  full  support  to  the 
LiteGait® User.

desired height.  

Lowering the Yoke
