Description
The PneuWalker™ unweighting system supports a person's body
weight during use. The pneumatic system lifts, or “unweights” the
user, reducing the amount of strain on a patient’s body. As the user
becomes stronger and can tolerate additional stress on the body,
the weight can be adjusted to make the body do more work. The
system can be used with most types of exercise equipment,
including, but not limited to: treadmills, steppers, bicycles, mini
‐
trampolines, and balance boards. The PneuWalker™ can assist
with balance issues, getting patients in and out of wheelchairs or
beds, and increasing patient mobility.
The PneuWalker™ components include a frame with analog con

trols, two lift arms, a contained air system, a vest , and installation
hardware.
