Description
The Circle Specialty KLIP Posterior Gait Trainer is a lightweight mobility solution designed to provide children, teens, and young adults with support and assistance while developing or maintaining walking skills. Its posterior design positions the gait trainer behind the user, creating an open walking position that encourages upright posture, natural movement, and greater freedom during ambulation. The KLIP is height adjustable to accommodate growth and can be configured with a variety of supportive accessories for changing positioning and mobility needs.
Available in four configurations, including standard, seat, 8-inch wheels, and seat with 8-inch wheels, the KLIP can be tailored to provide the right combination of mobility, support, and convenience for each user.
Key Details
- Posterior Walking Design: Positions the gait trainer behind the user to promote an open walking position, upright posture, and more natural movement.
- Four Versatile Configurations: Choose from the Standard, With Seat, With 8" Wheels, or With Seat and 8" Wheels configurations to match individual mobility and positioning needs.
- Adjustable for Growth: Height-adjustable handles help provide a proper fit while allowing the gait trainer to accommodate growing users.
- Directional Rear-Wheel Control: One-directional rear wheels help prevent the gait trainer from rolling backward, providing additional control during walking.
- Forward & Backward Override: An override bracket disengages the one-directional rear-wheel function when forward and backward movement is desired.
- Foot-Activated Wheel Lock: The standard configurations feature a foot-activated swivel wheel lock with an audible click, making it easier to engage and providing greater control.
- Large 8-Inch Wheels: The 8-inch wheel configurations feature large front swivel wheels designed to improve maneuverability over uneven surfaces, including sidewalks, grassy areas, and park trails.
- Optional Flip-Up Seat: Seat-equipped models include a flip-up seat that folds down to provide a convenient place to sit and rest when the user needs a break.
- Folding Frame: The KLIP folds easily for more compact storage and convenient transportation.
- Secure Frame Adjustment: Locking collars help create a snug fit and reduce movement between the inner legs and frame.
- Anterior Position Capability: The KLIP can also be used in the anterior position for additional versatility, except when configured in the XS size.
- Expandable Positioning Support: Optional accessories such as a pelvic stabilizer, forearm platforms, cushioned sling seat, tension control, and bumper guards can further customize the gait trainer as mobility needs change.
