3. Is there an age limit to use RealWalker?

Babies who can not walk, they fail to support its own weight, or more than fail to move; They can rehabilitate training to build muscle mass.

It will be a pleasure to evacuate your doubts, but the last word should have the physiatrist or neurologist or physiotherapist or specialist who treats medical rehabilitation. Our devices do play the patient the exact movement of the walk, which causes the reeducation (or rehabilitation or retraining) in the patient, who manages to regain control of the walk (knowing which muscles move and which are not in every part of the walk).

5. What difference have the various devices together?

The PERSONAL device is designed for use by a single person is a product for the patient to rehabilitate at home. Therefore it will be configured to weight, height, size and stability requirements. The KID has the same characteristics of PERSONAL, but stride length and leg separation of a small child.

The CLINIC device allows easily setting: patient weight, patient size, patient height and speed step. These configurations will be much more easily than in Personal; otherwise, the CLINIC device is more robust because it must withstand more intensive use.
