Supportive Gait Training
In order for a child to achieve a healthy walking pattern, they need good balance, core strength and functional range. For some kids, they need a little helping hand, and that is where the WalkingBelt comes in.
The belt provides support around the torso and is held in place with a padded leg harness. The length of the two padded handles can be adapted to give the caregiver a comfortable working position when walking close to the child, holding the handles to provide the child with additional support and stability during gait training.
Gentle on the Skin
The WalkingBelt has a soft polyester velvet lining that feels pleasant against and doesn't irritate the gentle skin of young children, making it very comfortable for them to wear. The material is also anti-slip in order to keep it in position and prevent slipping while wearing.
