When outcomes
matter, having the right equipment is critical
Is the Gait Harness System right for me,
or my VA Hospital?
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:
Traumatic brain injury
Spinal
cord injury
Lower extremity amputation
Stroke
Developmental disability
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
With practice, things do get better. Using the right
tool perfects the practice.
The Gait Harness System can be a vital element in the
patient's rehabilitation and best possible healthy
recovery results. Using the GHS, our clients are
experiencing stronger, faster recoveries, and better
psychological and physical health.
Patients can safely utilize the GHS at home. Its ability
to go over ground is particularly useful. Other systems
that provide over ground movement can be very heavy, are
hard for the user and therapist to maneuver, and are not
suitable for the home. The GHS is easy to use, portable,
safe for therapist and patient, and saves the VA, and
the patient, money compared to other therapy and
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

the GHS brings tears to my eyes because it reminds us to
never give up and to keep trying new things.”

.....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.”
