Our team is fabricating a system that allows the Rifton Pacer Gait Trainer to be accessible on treadmills.

Project Overview

Gait trainers are used to assist and support those who have issues with significant mobility impairments. In the winter, it is difficult to utilize the gait trainer outside. Due to the lack of access, users may suffer significant damage to physical and mental health. Utilizing a treadmill during the imperfect weather conditions would allow for increased mobility and less drastic damages to the overall health of the client. Creating a system to allow this will provide the fix needed for the client to use her gait trainer while on the treadmill.
