Introducing the newly redesigned Rifton XL Pacer, a dynamic gait trainer designed to enhance boundless mobility. As the latest addition to the Rifton family, this model combines the reliable structure of the classic Pacer with the complexity of a traditional gait pattern. The Pacer’s unique design creates a positive feedback loop, responding to each step with flexible handling for a more natural walking feel. Its frame supports single-leg shifting and weight bearing, essential for developing a proper gait pattern. By facilitating an intuitive and independent walking experience, the Dynamic Pacer boosts users' confidence and strength.
Features
*Shown with options and accessories
Dual Base System
Our standard base features upgraded casters and improvements that deliver exceptional support and functionality. Designed for smooth surfaces, it efficiently moves users indoors and outdoors.
Height Adjustment
A single button triggers the gas spring, allowing for effortless height adjustments. Releasing the button securely locks the height in place
Quantifiable Progress
Forget the old way of counting tiles! Available as an option on every Pacer base, Rifton’s new odometer makes it simple to track progress in any environment, measuring in both feet and meters.
Easy Portability
Effortless Precision in Positioning
The single-column upper frame features a locking gas spring that facilitates height adjustments along the indexed column. By pressing a button, you can release the gas spring, allowing for smooth height changes. Once the button is released, it locks securely at the chosen height. The column is indexed to allow for quick and accurate adjustments tailored to each user's specific height needs.
The Multi-Position Saddle (MPS) is the optimal device for pelvic positioning. It is adjustable in five distinct directions to accommodate the unique posture needs of each user. Designed for seamless integration, the MPS easily attaches to both dynamic and standard upper frames.
By using the fluid height adjustments of the MPS and upper frame, the seat can be lowered sufficiently to facilitate a transfer from a seated position.
Once the transfer is completed, caregivers raise the upper frame to bring the user into an upright position.
With the tilt adjustment on the MPS, caregivers position the user's pelvis to achieve the most effective gait pattern.
Using the height adjustment on the MPS, caregivers lift the user's pelvis to the ideal height for weight-bearing and taking steps.
