Walkers and gait trainers may look similar โ but theyโre designed for different stages of mobility.
๐น Walkers are for kids who are upright and mobile but need balance or postural support.
๐น Gait trainers offer more structured assistance โ with pelvic harnesses, forearm supports and weight-bearing adjustments that help children learn to walk.
For children who arenโt yet walking independently, a gait trainer can play a crucial role in early mobility, strength building and participation.
