See how the NF- Walker works!

The NF-Walker is a gait trainer enabling children, even with very low motor function, to stand and walk independently, while keeping hands free. This initiates better social interaction and participation in everyday activities. In addition, through more mobility the level of physical activity is increased and time spent being sedentary reduced, which has shown to have positive health effects.

The NF-Walker gait trainer offers: 

  • Support and bracing system – The unique support and brace system gives the child exceptional support and correction of both the lower and upper body. This secures sufficient alignment stimulating even children with severe disability to walk.
  • Weight-bearing – The brace system provides weight-bearing on the feet.
  • Hands free – Walking while hands are free allows for inclusion and engagement in activities with family and friends.
