Benefits of Pacific Rehab Meywalk 2000

• Ease in Transfer
  • To lower the seat and allow for transfer, first lock the unit, lower the tail gate and open the ring.
  • Press the two silver buttons on the front of the walker and raise the lift bar which lowers the sit bar.
  • After the user transfers, close the ring and tail gate, and push down on the lift bar.
  • The lever lift bar easily lifts the user into standing!
• Dynamic Assisted Gait
  • The Meywalk move dynamically up and down during gait. This allows the user to come down into Heel Strike and Toe Off for a more normal gait pattern.
  • As the user steps forward, the compressed spring assembly lifts and assists with the Swing Through portion of the gait.
• Spring Assist
  • Meywalk spring assist can aid in the lift required at the Swing Through Phase of gait.
  • As this requires less effort, frequently scissoring is diminished, promoting a more normal gait pattern. Whereas “leg separation devices” can block the scissoring, they can also strengthen the adductors by providing fixed resistance.
  • A spring assist system can allow some users to strengthen their hip flexors and abductors for a better long term result.
• Meywalk Assistive Transfer System
  • The Meywalk also has the unique ability to be lowered to make transfers easier.
  • Once the user transfers on to the seat and the ring and tail gate are in place, the user can be brought up into standing by pushing down easily on the lift bar until it locks into place on the base.
  • Other walkers and gait trainers require the carer to lift the user into standing before transferring them into their device.
  • Provides a dynamic assisted lift during the mid phase of gait, as well as a lever lift transfer system to make transfers in and out of the device easier for the child and caregiver.

How to Get in and out of Meywalk Gait Trainer?

• Meywalk has an integral lifting/lowering system, which facilitates getting in and out for the user.
• Recommend two helpers when getting the user in and out. 
• Press in the locking buttons at the front of the Meywalk 2000 and raise the tilt bar.
• On the Meywalk 2000 Medium this will lower the seat unit by about 15 cm (6"), and on the Meywalk 2000 Large by about 25 cm (10").
• Then lift up and tilt backwards the rear stop and open the trunk support.
• When the user is in position on the seat, close the trunk support and rear stop and raise the seat unit by pressing the tilt bar down until it locks with an audible click.
• The integral gearing in the lifting/ lowering system means that downwards pressure need only be about one third of the user’s weight.

Maintenance of Pacific Rehab Meywalk Gait Trainer

• The walking aid can be washed down with hot water and a normal detergent. 
• However, the padding on the trunk support, handle bar and rear stop should be avoided.
• With repeated use of detergent, the painted frame may gradually take on a matt appearance.
• It can then be polished up with car polish. Follow the instructions on the polish. 
• Check for tightness by regularly checking that all bolts, screws and nuts are fully tightened and if necessary retighten.
