Most patients with severe hemiplegia have difficulty moving or advancing the affected limb during swing phase as well as difficulty bearing weight during stance phase. Because the arm on the weak side is usually affected as well as the leg, patients often lack the grip necessary to use a walker for support. With the Rifton E-Pacer, a rolling stool, a knee brace, and a strap known as a Husky Hang-All, which contains a carabiner, a patient can overcome these obstacles and begin walking much sooner. Watch the video to learn more.

Watch this video to learn how to safely transfer and position the patient in the E-Pacer, so that they can facilitate knee, hip and back extension while keeping good posture and standing.

This video is an introduction to a series educating therapists how to use the E-Pacer in Inpatient Rehabilitation for patients with acute onset hemiplegia.

  Brake: Fully locks the Pacer wheel. Drag: Creates resistance on the wheel. Swivel Lock: Positions and maintains the wheel in a straight line (no lateral movement). Direction Lock: Positions wheel to move in one direction only (blocks involuntary backward movement). Odometer: Record client progress in feet or meters (selected at the time of purchase).

Over the past few years, we've had many requests for a simple chair for mildly involved students, for students with autism spectrum disorder, and we decided to redesign the Compass Chair.

Lori Potts, PT demonstrates how the Pacer can be used over a treadmill with the innovative treadmill base. Video Transcript   This is Rifton’s treadmill base and would be used over a treadmill that is set up in a clinic or home. The idea here is that we first establish the optimal settings for a particular child and then approach the treadmill walking. When the child is about ready to step up...

Lori Potts, PT demonstrates the features of the Prone Stander and discusses strategies to promote effective standing. Watch Lori demonstrate the Mobile Stander and Supine Stander. Video Transcript   This is Rifton’s Prone Stander. This is the Small. We also offer it in Medium and Large. Again, we have the gradual change of angle. With our protractor here you can see it can move right up to 90...

Lori Potts, PT demonstrates the features of the Mobile Stander and discusses strategies to promote effective standing. Watch Lori demonstrate the Supine Stander and Prone Stander. Video Transcript   This is our Mobile Stander. It actually sells as a standalone product. The large wheels are added as an accessory. What you see here is the Mini and you’ll notice that the footboard is higher off of...

Lori Potts, PT demonstrates the features of the Supine Stander and discusses methods for promoting effective standing. Watch Lori demonstrate the Mobile Stander and Prone Stander. Video Transcript   This is Rifton’s Supine Stander. This is one is the Small. We also offer a Large Supine Stander. You’ll notice that the movement from horizontal to vertical is gradual and with our Large Supine...

  The TRAM and E-Pacer scales can connect with a phone or tablet via Bluetooth to display scale data on Rifton’s Gait Tracker app. Gait Tracker shows a running average of the weight  measured by the scale, and calculates average weight-bearing for a gait training session. A phone can also be mounted on the patient handgrip with a bicycle phone mount, making the scale visible to the client...
