Check out this incredible story!
-
One of our neighbors found out about the Gait Buddy and wanted to try it out with her 16 year old son who has C.P. For 3 YEARS, his gait has been declining because Mom cannot walk with him by herself anymore. She needs a second person there for when he suddenly needs to sit. With the Gait Buddy, Mom is able to walk with her son SAFELY by HERSELF! This is only his 3rd time using the Gait Buddy and he walked 100 feet!
-
At one point, Mom said, “Are you ready to sit?” in which he responded enthusiastically, “NO!”
-
This is why we are SO passionate about getting Gait Buddy into the hands of the clinicians and caregivers who need it. It brings countless possibilities, like this, into the lives of patients and the communities we serve.

The health benefits of walking even just a few times a week will be monumental in this young man’s journey. It can help reduce the risk of wounds, contractures, while simultaneously improving bone density, cardiopulmonary strength, reduce stress, etc. The benefits of walking cannot be emphasized enough!!!!
