Rifton E-Pacer

Description

The Benefits:

• Zero-lift transfers: The E-Pacer can perform the sit-to-stand transfer that is part of every gait training session with no lifting on the part of the caregiver.
• Gait training with extra stability: The E-Pacer’s strong and rigid frame gives security for heavier or taller clients.
• Seat-to-seat transfers: Attach the thigh straps to the E-Pacer’s body support system and use the E-Pacer to move a client from a wheelchair to a mat table or other surface for therapy.
• Expandable legs: Widen the base legs for clients needing extra step width or to get up close to a wheelchair prior to a transfer.
• Height range: The 26″ adjustment range of the E-Pacer’s electric lift column provides great versatility for use with clients of different statures.
• Built-in scale: the optional Bluetooth-equipped scale and Gait Tracker mobile app measure the load on the body support, allowing caregivers to track a client’s weight-bearing progress over time. Available for Android or iOS devices.

Features:

• Effortless Lifting – The carefully engineered, telescoping lift column gives the E-Pacer an amazing range of adjustment. It can be raised high enough to support a 6’5″ walking client and then retract down to 32¾” for compact storage.
• Gait Training Casters – The innovative casters have swivel lock, brake, variable drag, and directional lock functionality. Use different combinations to control the E-Pacer’s speed and direction. Swivel lock: Each caster’s swivel can be locked independently. Lock all four to help clients walk in a straight line, or just the two rear casters to eliminate drifting sideways. Release swivel locks on all casters for movement in any direction. Directional lock: Set each caster to prevent involuntary backward movement. (Only works with swivel locks engaged.) Variable drag: Made with the same material used in automotive brakes, our variable drag feature gives you greater control with the simple twist of a dial.
• Odometer – The optional odometer makes it easy to measure distance covered.
• Scale – When the scale is paired with a tablet or phone via Bluetooth, the Gait Tracker App can track your client’s weight-bearing progress. Available for Android or iOS devices. Note: The scale must be included in the original purchase. It cannot be added later.
• Expanding Legs – Swinging the leg expander bar spreads the E-Pacer frame to fit around large wheelchairs.
