Several studies have supported the clinical observations that children with CP have improved posture and gait characteristics when they walk with posture walkers. Other publications describe improvements in alignment, cadence, and stride and step length in children who have myelodysplasia, osteogenesis imperfecta, or other musculoskeletal impairments. Posture Control Walkers place the support behind the user, which requires the person to adapt to a more upright posture and places his center of mass within the base of support of the walker. This helps the user to coordinate rhythm and timing of swing and stance phases of gait when impaired balance prevents independent walking.

Pediatric Kaye Posture Control Walkers have different wheel configurations to provide options for various environments:

The basic Kaye walkers have crutch tips on the rear legs. This creates greater friction against the floor so that the walker moves more slowly. This can be an advantage for users who have serious balance impairments.

The "R" walkers (any Kaye walker with an "R" in the product number) have 4 wheels with ratcheted rear wheels that do not roll backwards. The 4-wheeled walkers move forward with each step. This helps simulate a stance-swing pattern so that the person walks safely with more normal reciprocal rhythm. The standard wheel configurations are 5" diameter in front and 3" diameter in back. The all terrain wheels are available as an option.

The "S" walkers (any Kaye walker with an "S" in the product number) include swivel wheels. These swivel front wheels help increase the ease of maneuverability and turning. The swivel wheels can be locked for straight-ahead tracking and then unlocked for easier use within classrooms or homes. Users, if they want the ease of turning but are not comfortable with the full swivel option, can add swivel limiters, model WSL1 which adjusts to limit the amount of swivel.

Includes two year limited warranty.
