MINIWALK I pediatric gait trainers from Meyland-Smith in Denmark is the newest model of walking supports for small children from approx. 1 1/2 to 4 years of age.

The gait trainer support walking system is based on the dynamic design of the MEYWALK . With each step, the spring compresses and assists with transition to swing through to the next step. It is this movement that allows for the up and down movement during gait as one transitions from heel strike, to toe-off, and through to swing through.

Growth adjustments are easily made without tools, and the body posture of the child can be set in any position from vertical to 15 degree forward tilt, making it possible to find the body inclination that gives the child the best stepping pattern.

Gait trainer adjusts quickly and easily for an exact fit every time. The MINIWALK I pediatric gait trainer is suitable for indoor as well as outdoor use, and is easily adaptable within the classroom.

Many accessories are available to fit your Meywalk gait training system to the individual needs of the user.

The Crocodile is the ideal product for developing the walking skills of children with varying abilities.
