Category: Walkers & Gait Trainers
Size: Size 2
Manufacturer: Prime Engineering
Description:

This KidWalk is a size 2 (maximum user weight of 90 pounds) and can be borrowed for two months at a time only.

Kidwalk is the fruit of collaboration between Prime Engineering and Therapist?s from Stanford University’s Rehab-Engineering Center. The development of the Kidwalk began with a 6-year grant funded by the U.S. Department of Education.

The idea behind Kidwalk is that children need a means to independently explore their environment. Self-initiated movement is key to developing neural and motor skills, learning spatial relationships and exploring their world the same way that a child without physical limitations would. It is vital in early childhood development to allow this type of exploration.
