*Research study conducted by Dr. Arun Jayaraman, PT, Ph.D., Director Max Nader Lab for Rehabilitation Technologies and Outcomes Research, Shirley Ryan AbilityLab / Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago.
• Improved gait efficiency was observed.
• Users experienced lower oxygen consumption and physical exertion.
• Reduced erector spinae lumbar muscle activation.
• Reduced anterior-posterior trunk sway.
• Participants offloaded 39% to 46% of body weight through elbow support armrest while ambulating.
• The Lifewalker product led to upright body posture, offloaded portions of body weight from the lower extremity and improved gait efficiency during ambulation in comparison to rollators and other devices.
In comparison to standard rollators and walker devices, the UPWalker provides functional benefits which can be applied to treating clinical conditions including:
• CVA
• Stroke
• COPD
• TBI
• Ataxia
• Degenerative Spinal Disease / Sciata
