Do 100% of all standing and walking problems get solved with the GHS?

Gait Harness System product acquisition is an investment in the client’s recovery process. GHS products and accessories are therapy tools, useful for clients learning to stand and walk again, working through a broad range of ambulation challenges. Results vary and are not guaranteed. GHS products are not designed to treat or cure any issue, condition or disease. Consult with the treating doctor or health care provider regarding health-related questions, assessments, and recommendations, including addressing the client’s specific medical issues, limitations, or needs.

Will the GHS work in my home, and can I move it in my vehicle?

The System is wide enough internally to accommodate standard wheelchair, chair, and scooter transfers, and will work in many homes which have been made wheelchair accessible. The GHS separates into two components for portability in a station wagon, SUV, van, or a pickup truck. The GHS is lightweight, and easy to maneuver from location to location. Please contact us for product dimensions.
