“Physical therapists should shift their paradigm of
rehabilitation from compensation to recovery.”
Behrman et al., rehabilitation researcher
“I
could sell this product to every rehab facility I walked
into if I had the time!”

When outcomes matter, having the right equipment is critical
Is the Gait Harness System right for my clinic and
clients?
The Gait Harness System is a complete transitional care
system for those needing to walk again.
The GHS and GHSII are for individuals who have walking
and standing challenges due to many medical conditions,
including:
Stroke
Traumatic brain injury
Spinal cord injury
Developmental disability
Lower extremity amputation
Other neurological disorders of the central nervous
system (e.g., Parkinson’s Disease, cerebellar
degeneration, Alzheimer’s Disease)
"The length of stay and amount of inpatient and outpatient
therapy is decreasing for patients. This necessitates the
therapist to maximize family care, and educate them in every
aspect of rehabilitation."
William Thornton MPT, Lead Physical Therapist, The
Center for
Spinal Cord Injury
Recovery®,
Rehab Institute of Michigan, Detroit MI
A successful rehabilitation program does not fix a
problem to change a function...it rebuilds, restores,
and recovers the human spirit to change a life.
The Gait
Harness System can be a vital element in the client's
rehabilitation and best possible healthy recovery
results. Using the GHS, our clients are experiencing
stronger, faster recoveries, and better psychological
and physical health.
The Gait Harness System's ability to go over ground is
particularly useful. Other systems that provide over
ground movement can be very heavy, are hard for
the client and therapist to maneuver, and are not
suitable for transition to the home. The GHS is easy to
use, portable, safe for therapist and client, and saves
the clinic money compared to other equipment options.
Many of those using the Gait Harness System® also
realize that greater savings can be realized from
longer, recovery-focused care following the initial
injury, rather than repeat care, which targets
adaptations and accidents later in life.
It's about
WALKING AGAIN
No problem is
too big…if the right people, with the right
treatment, and the right System, go at it the right
way
People who use the Gait Harness System
See
the variety of people using the Gait Harness System
everyday, in the home and clinics. The Gait Harness
System helps many people who have all types of
conditions preventing them from walking and
standing. Many are now regaining their functioning,
standing and walking again, using the Second Step
Gait Harness System.
“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.”
Bonnie P., parent of user, Eugene OR
.....healthy opportunities for recovery
“Just
this morning the Gait Harness System was bringing some amazement and
tears to staff members as a student used it successfully.”
David Cacciatore, Physical Therapist, Lane School, Houston TX
…..keeping therapists & patients safe
“Patients
cannot fall using the GHS as the harness is designed to
support their full body weight if necessary. No
walker or cane can compare to the safety of this
System.”
Nicole Prieto-Lewis, Director of the Gait and Balance
Laboratory, Gainesville VA, Gainesville FL
