Check out the new Pacer XL

Dear Reader:

So much is possible through safe and effective transfer – when people can get up into equipment to do things they can’t in a wheelchair. Every day, we see how activities that enhance dignity are also easier and less time-consuming. We’re discovering that disabled teens and adults develop strength and new skills even beyond age 21. And we’re witnessing how purpose is a great motivator, whether it’s gardening, painting, dancing or bowling!

Rifton’s new Pacer XL, SoloLift, and Support Station are opening up a world of opportunities for teens and adults with developmental disabilities. They’re eliminating transfer-related back injuries for caregivers and the barriers to transfer and toileting that have long been roadblocks to getting out into the community. Rifton is not only breaking down these barriers, we’ve also made skill-building part of the process.

You can read about the amazing progress we’ve seen in this arena in this issue of Rapport.

Happy 2009!

Sincerely,
Lori Potts, PT
