How It Can Affect Walking
Symptomatic joint hypermobility can involve pain, repeated sprains, tiredness and difficulty with balance or coordination.
Where Support May Be Useful
For someone who can bear weight and take steps, LifeGlider's wrap-around frame, support belt and perching saddle offer a different way to explore supported movement. Suitability depends on your symptoms and how the equipment feels in use.

Start With A Useful Goal

What To Consider
