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

Our detachable upper frame simplifies the process of storage and transport. With separable components, you can easily choose the appropriate base for each user and every situation.

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.
