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, vibration units, steppers, bicycles, mini
-
trampolines, and balance boards. The
PneuWalker™ can assist with balance issues, getting patients in and out of wheelchairs or beds, and
increases mobilization opportunities.
The PneuWalker™ components include a frame with analog controls, two lift arms, a contained air
system, three vests , and installation instructions.
