E-Pacer Gait Trainer

The electric gait training frame that lifts

A versatile and powerful electric gait training device.

The E-Pacer gait trainer is the largest member of the Pacer family, and it brings new possibilities to gait training. With its electric lift and secure body support, it removes one of the biggest challenges: helping larger or more dependent clients stand safely. 

Designed as a true electric gait training device, the E-Pacer combines lift-assist with the familiar features of the classic Pacer. The result is a reliable gait trainer with sit-to-stand functionality for clients who can no longer be safely transferred into a manual frame. The E-Pacer can be a life-changing solution for clients who have grown too large or too dependent to be safely transferred into manual gait trainers. Built strong and stable, it supports users up to 6′5″ and 350 lb. making it an ideal gait trainer for adults and others with significant support needs.

The Benefits

  • Zero-lift transfers: With the E-Pacer’s built‑in electric lift, the sit‑to‑stand transfer that begins every session becomes a safe, efficient process. No manual lifting required from a caregiver. 
  • Gait training with extra stability: The strong, rigid electric gait training frame provides security for heavier or more involved clients, making gait training more accessible.
  • Seat-to-seat transfers: With thigh straps attached to the body support system, the E-Pacer can help move a client from a wheelchair to a mat table or other surface for therapy.
  • Expandable legs: Widen the base legs to give clients extra step width or to position the frame close to a wheelchair before a transfer. 
  • Height range: The 26" adjustable height range of the electric lift column provides great versatility for use with clients of different statures. 
  • Built-in scale: The optional Bluetooth-equipped scale works with the Gait Tracker mobile app to measure the load on the body support, allowing caregivers to track a client’s weight-bearing progress over time. Compatible with Android or iOS devices.
