The Leicht-Walker with accessories

Primary or secondary deformities can bring about shifts in the body´s center of gravity, which can be compensated for by repositioning the alignment plate.

After loosening 4 lock nuts, the alignment plate can slide on the base plate.

Some patients experience unwanted differences in stride length, which can be overcome using the individual stride length adjustment.

After loosening the clamp screws on the guide assembly, the stride length can be adjusted using the set screws.

To optimize walking and stability it is imperative that the correct distance between the footplates be adjusted to your patient.

Lesser distance between the footplates eases initiation of the step. Greater distance increases stance stability, however, reduces step length.

The foot plates are easily moved closer together or further apart via the threaded spindle on the guide assembly. Subsequent adjustment of the damper unit keeps the feet parallel.

The ability to separate the body shell from the Leicht-Walker or FootWalker makes donning of the orthosis much easier and allows the shell to be used separately if necessary.

After opening grips on the connecting plate and superstructure, the body shell can be removed.

E.g. A Stehbrett Standing Platform can be used to stand the patient during the period preceding walking, or as an alternating option.

After opening the grip on the connecting plate and the upright screw on the superstructure, the body shell together with the superstructure can be transferred to the Stehbrett Standing Platform.

With patients who are still growing, it can be necessary to change to a larger walking or standing unit.

After opening grips on the connecting plate and superstructure, the body shell can be adapted to the next size walking unit.
