How It Can Affect Walking
Cerebral palsy affects movement and coordination. Depending on the person, walking may involve stiffness, weakness, involuntary movements or difficulty with balance. Children and adults can have very different equipment needs.
Where Support May Be Useful
LifeGlider's harness and perching seat may be relevant to a person who can bear weight and step but wants support around their body. A practical goal could be moving through a room or taking part in a standing activity with less reliance on sustained pressure through the hands.
This is a practical explanation of the design's potential relevance. It is not a claim that LifeGlider treats Cerebral palsy or is proven effective for every person with these difficulties.
Start With A Useful Goal
- Joining in at home, school, college or work.
- Comparing body support with the way your current walking frame feels.
Tell us what you would like to do, which parts feel difficult and what equipment you currently use. We can explain the frame and show how its features work.
What To Consider
Check the space needed for your particular stepping pattern, including any inward turning or crossing of the legs. Transfers on and off the seat are a separate consideration from walking. Choose size by measurements, not age, and follow existing restrictions relating to hips, joints or surgery.
