Flexibility and ease of use, stability, client comfort & safety, adaptable to outdoor enriched environments
STAR clinicians report that the ability to tailor the GHSII for a client as they progress and gain strength is a key value feature. Clinicians appreciate the GHSII is light and easy to maneuver, stable, secure, and also allows staff to access the client's lower extremities to provide assistance for limb advancement or foot placements.
Staff and clients appreciate the comfort of wearing the Gait Harness while using the GHSII. Clients report the Harness allows a greater freedom of movement as compared to other gait training devices, and yet a feeling of safety as they perform activities within the GHSII. Clinicians find the GHSII Harnesses are less bulky, and do not get in the way as they provide cueing and assistance during exercise.
Clients like facing the open side of the frame, stating the visual openness gives them a feeling of normalcy, as if they are doing more on their own. Clients also appreciate utilizing the GHSII to walk outside and enjoy the foliage color changes on STAR's outdoor paved track.
