Hart Walker UK
Our Walkers
Our innovative walking devices are specifically designed for people with mobility difficulties, from toddler to smaller adults, who possess the ability or potential to take steps but require assistance for walking independently. Featuring a dynamic 4-wheeled base, our walkers offer stability while standing. Additionally, an articulated exoskeleton provides the necessary support for users to achieve the ideal stance for initiating a stepping action. The exoskeleton is meticulously crafted to eliminate unnatural movements and promote a natural gait. Furthermore, both the base and exoskeleton are adjustable to accommodate growth and changing walking needs over time. Our walkers cater to individuals with conditions such as cerebral palsy, diagnosed or undiagnosed, that result in mobility challenges.
We provide several styles of exoskeletons: including Regular, Heavy-Duty and Ultra-heavy Duty. While all types offer the same functionality, the Regular exoskeleton is lighter and specifically designed for smaller and lighter children.
On the other hand, the Heavy-Duty exoskeleton is crafted for stronger and heavier users including small adults. It has also proven beneficial for some children as young as 6, particularly those with good ability, an active lifestyle, and the intention to use the walker regularly and outdoors.
Our exoskeletons are adjustable in terms of height and width, ensuring that a growing child can use them for several years without the need for frequent replacement parts. Our walkers are meticulously engineered in the UK using top-quality materials and components, resulting in rare part breakages when the walker is used as intended.
These exoskeletons are built to provide long-lasting support and mobility for children and teenagers with mobility challenges, enabling them to partake in various activities with comfort and confidence.
Dynamic, 4-wheeled base
Introducing our latest selection of accessible 4-wheeled bases with an open front design, offering enhanced functionality in a modern and stylish package. These bases are designed to be user-friendly while incorporating advanced manufacturing techniques and innovative features.
The open front design with splayed arms provides increased comfort and versatility for a wide range of users. Clients can easily step into the open straps of the exoskeleton, be manually lifted into it, or hoisted if needed.
If lifting is not possible, the exoskeleton can be detached from the base, allowing users to be comfortably fitted while lying down.
Furthermore, the dynamic base features a suspension spring mechanism at the rear that adjusts as the user is connected to the device. This mechanism allows for smooth movement as the user walks, syncing the base's motion with the user's steps.
Experience the convenience and adaptability of our new 4-wheeled bases, combining cutting-edge design with practicality for users of various abilities.
Reciprocating shock cord system
The shock cords are attached from the base to the exoskeleton above the ankles to the front and above the knees to the rear. These cords serve three main purposes:
This design feature enhances the overall user experience and functionality of the device.
It may be impractical for a user to be attached to the exoskeleton while standing. There are alternative methods available for the user. The exoskeleton's design allows easy detachment from the base, enabling it to be positioned horizontally on the floor, plinth, or bed. Subsequently, the user can be securely fastened into the exoskeleton before being raised or lifted onto the base for operation. This flexibility in positioning enhances user experience and accessibility.
