The Walking Sling – Adjustable is designed to be clinically fitted safely by an experienced therapist. You can use this Sling for walking rehabilitation for children.
The main advantage of the Walking Sling – Adjustable is the adjustable straps. These allow the straps to be quickly and easily tightened or loosened while the child is standing.
Note:
We highly recommend also ordering the
Padded Sleeve Set
(sold separately). This is a set of three pads of different lengths which slide over the Walking Sling webbing leg straps. This offers extra padding and comfort. The reason why the padding is not built-in to the Walking Sling leg straps is that therapists often want flexibility about where the pads are placed, and not be bound to where we stitch them.
Main Features
Adjustable hoist straps and leg straps with heavy duty metal camlocks – to allow straps to pass through and be easily tightened, and locked
Wide webbing straps for extra comfort against the chest and back
Three adjustable straps to ensure a snug fit
Finger loops to allow good tightening of the side straps
Adjustable webbing leg straps with extra
Padded Sleeve Set
available (sold separately)
Extra padding under metal camlocks for each leg strap

Nylon
This is called a solid material, as it is not a Mesh or Netting material that has holes in the material. The Nylon has some slipperiness, to make it easier to slide down behind a patient’s back, when they are sitting in a chair.
