Description

Mobility is for everyone

That simple idea inspired us to design the ever-growing family of Pacers. With five Pacer gait trainer sizes, we’ve ensured that more clients – infants as young as nine months and adults up to 275 lbs – can experience the benefits of walking and gait training.

Designed for a wide range of clients with varying abilities, Pacer gait trainers are renowned for their modular design, durability, and flexibility. When appropriately supported and positioned in a Pacer, thousands of people of all ages have enjoyed independence and improved strength and confidence.

Benefits of using the Pacer for gait training:

  • Prompts that attach anywhere; no tools required
  • Simple height adjustments in 1" increments
  • Innovative casters with swivel lock, brake, variable drag and one-way ratchet control
  • Folding frame that fits easily in car trunks and through 32" doors
  • Accessories that accommodate posterior or anterior gait trainer use

Versatile and adjustable, Pacer gait trainers are renowned for their great design and ease of use. From how easily they fold into the trunk of a car to their modular design, everything about Pacers encourage forward progress for clients so nothing stands between them and the places they want to go.

Accessories

Arm prompts
Arm prompts, often crucial to gait training, accommodate numerous positioning requirements. Adjust them tool-free while the user is in the Pacer. Height, rotation, angle, lateral proximity, forward and backward adjustments can be made in minutes.
Padded surface area: small 4½"x 8", large 5"x 9"
Adjustment range: (elbow to fist): small 9"– 12½", large 10½"– 15"
Arm prompts
A pair of arm prompts attached at the most typically-used position on a Pacer gait trainer frame. Placed at the front of the Pacer frame, they encourage a forward-leaning posture.
Arm prompts
Jamir has achieved enough leg strength and trunk stability to use only the arm prompts for weight-bearing support. Placed at elbow height aligned with shoulders, arm prompts assist partial weight-bearing gait training.
Arm prompts
Individualized arm prompt positioning supports a user with contractures.
Hand loops
Hand loops can be used on any size Pacer. Providing a handhold boosts a client's sense of stability and confidence while moving. Handholds attach as a pair or singly anywhere along the Pacer's top bar, and are height and angle adjustable to fit each client's unique needs.

Chest prompt
The chest prompt is available in three sizes and accommodates a wide range of users. It holds the client's torso at the desired angle, with tilt adjust forward or back in 15° increments. One knob adjusts both the tilt-angle and width of the chest prompt. The chest prompt retro-fits to all earlier and future Pacer gait trainer models.
Range of circumference: small 14"– 28", med 22"– 40", large 28"– 50"
Height: small 4½", med 6½", large 8"
Chest prompt
Adjustments to the chest prompt are tool-free and can be made while client is in the Pacer. The cover is cleanable, healthcare-grade vinyl. The chest prompt fits snugly to support dependent users, or wraps loosely as a training guide for gaining independent trunk control.
Chest prompt
The chest prompt opens at the back to allow for easy access during transfer.
Chest prompt
In its lowest position, the chest prompt becomes a hip corral for users who have good upper trunk control but need some support at the hips.
Pelvic support
For clients who need less abduction, the pelvic support is a softer alternative to the hip positioner. It provides weight–bearing assistance and freedom of movement while clients build strength and stamina.
Pelvic support
Offering a less rigid, narrower fit for larger clients or those who find the hip positioner too bulky between the thighs, the pelvic support is ideal for the youngest walkers and others who need support with minimal abduction.
Pelvic support
The pelvic support is made of microbe–resistant polyurethane over a core of closed cell foam padding. It will withstand routine cleaning with a 10% bleach solution. This foam and web–reinforced construction is comfortable yet durable.
Pelvic support
To determine the correct size pelvic support needed, measure half of the user's thigh circumference:
Small: 4" - 8"
Medium: 6" - 10"
Large: 8" - 14"
Hip positioner
The hip positioner swings with a client's walking motion, allowing the user to shift weight from one leg to the other. The hip positioner is sold with one pair of handholds.
Hip positioner
Rings on the posterior strap of the hip positioner or pelvic support clip onto the handholds mounted on the Pacer frame, allowing you to quickly secure a client following transfer
Hip positioner
The hip positioner pad, sold separately, slips over the hip positioner to give cushioned comfort. Raise the handholds and shorten the straps for partial weight-bearing gait training.
Hip positioner
To keep the user's pelvis midline, and behind the shoulders, attach the anterior straps farther back on the Pacer frame. Anterior straps can be attached to the posts of the chest prompt or at the intersection of the Pacer frame upright with the top bar.
Hip positioner
Lower the handholds and lengthen the straps to use the hip positioner as a safety sling. Raise the handholds and shorten the straps for partial weight-bearing gait training.
Thigh prompts
Thigh prompts swing with the user's stride and prevent leg scissoring. They are height adjustable in the medial and lateral positions and prevent user from turning within the Pacer frame.
Length (from clamp to strap): small 5"– 8", large 5"– 11”
Max. leg circumference: small 15", large 20"
Thigh prompts
The thigh prompts assist leg abduction. Used with the ankle prompts they can also prevent scissoring.

Handholds

Handholds
They can be used by either the caregiver or the client.

Attendant guidebar
The optional attendant guide bar attaches to the center front of the top bar of any size of the old-style Pacer. It enables caregivers to guide clients while gait training, and can be rotated 180° to pull from the front or push from behind the Pacer.

Accessories tote bag
A tough and attractive tote bag big enough (14"x 16"x 9") to keep all your Pacer accessories together when not in use. Made of black ballistic nylon with a zippered top, here's a bag that will hold up to whatever you throw in it and still look great.
And like all things Rifton, it's made in the USA.
