How It Can Affect Mobility
Some people with Chiari malformation have no symptoms. Others experience balance problems, dizziness or muscle weakness that can affect movement.
Exploring Support Around Your Body
If you can take steps and bear weight through your legs, LifeGlider's wrap-around support may be worth exploring for a specific everyday activity. A demonstration can help you understand the frame, harness and perching seat.
LifeGlider is a mobility aid. It does not treat Chiari malformation or establish that it is suitable for every person with this condition.
What To Consider
Follow your clinical team’s advice about movement, posture and any restrictions. A walking aid does not treat the cause of dizziness, weakness or changes in symptoms.
