At Second Step, helping people walk again, more
independently, is what we are all about
People are changing their lives using the Second Step Gait
Harness System
Making the impossible,
possible again
Second Step is committed to helping people walk and
stand again, through the results oriented,
clinically
proven
Gait Harness System® (GHS)
and NEW Gait Harness System® II (GHSII).
Many severely injured individuals who are using the
GHS, and who were
unable to walk in the 5, 10 and 20 plus years post their
injuries, are now beginning to stand and walk again for
the first time.
The GHS helps
individuals regain healthy functioning after challenges
due to spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury,
stroke, cerebellar degeneration, orthopedic,
neurological, lower extremity amputation, Parkinson’s,
Alzheimer’s, and other ambulation, gait and balance
rehabilitation issues. The GHS is used world-wide in a
broad spectrum of out-patient, in-patient, and home
enriched environments.
Discover how Second Step is "Helping People Walk
Again" by keeping users and caregivers safe,
simultaneously facilitating healthy, functional therapy
outcomes.
The
most common goal clients in
rehabilitative recovery programs report is to be
able to walk again
“I
viewed several of
your YouTube videos
and was astounded.
In 25 years of
working with
disabled elders and
non-geriatric
adults, I’ve never
seen a Gait Harness
System or other
device so
revolutionary. I’ll
spread the word to
my nationwide
network of
professional
colleagues.”

“The Gait
Harness System
is a truly
marvelous device
that could no
doubt help
thousands of
people actually
regain their
mobility, not
just spend the
rest of their
lives being
pushed around in
a wheel chair or
riding on a
scooter.”

disabilities in long term care facilities. Wishing you
every success.”

at a facility who were all told they would
never walk again—after using the Gait
Harness System, only two now use a
wheelchair as their primary locomotion.”

"I have a tremendous respect for the work you do
and wish you nothing but continued success. It's
comforting, at the very least, to know that even
3,000 miles away, there are still kind, caring
people out there who understand what one
encounters in caring for a disabled loved one.
Your product is ingenious and should receive
more accolades."
Scott A., son of father with stroke, orthopedic,
SCI issues, Staten Island NY
“Your videos of brain injured folks, like my son, using
the GHS brings tears to my eyes because it reminds us to
never give up and to keep trying new things.”

cannot fall using the GHS as the harness is designed to

walker or cane can compare to the safety of this
System.”
