Pacific Rehab
Headpod
The concept behind this dynamic
head support is to begin to
position the child’s head in the
neutral point of balance over
their base of support, either
sitting or standing, while allowing
free head rotation and forward
movement to strengthen head
control over time. The ladder strap
over the head is adjustable to
allow movement within the plane
of strength.

wheel access, so you’re one “click”
away from a just-right fit. The
dynamic fifth wheel allows you
to adjust range and spring rate to
match your rider’s abilities. With
a 12.5-lb. transport weight and

Rifton Equipment
Dynamic Pacer Gait Trainer
As Seen at APTA CSM: The venerable Rifton Pacer has been around awhile, but you’ve never seen it like this. Modularity is the key to the new Dynamic Pacer: Choose what you want and need, from a base with larger wheels perfect for outdoor settings, to wide arm platforms comfortable for leaning and balancing against. The new dynamic upper frame is easy to adjust and offers, Rifton says, 8 cm (3.15") of vertical and 5 cm (nearly 2") of horizontal movement. That enables this gait trainer to move with the client and can even complement the natural movements that come with walking. The Dynamic Pacer is available in three base types: The standard base is suited for indoor and outdoor environments, while the utility base’s larger wheels are great outdoors, and the treadmill/stability base is wider and more stable, and can be used with a treadmill. Accessories include those new arm platforms, a multi-position saddle, and hand loops. At February’s American Physical Therapy Association’s Combined Sections Meeting in Anaheim, Calif., PTs loved the Dynamic Pacer’s single-point height-adjustment system, operated so easily thanks to a locking gas spring. They also oohed and aahed over fun new colors (lime as well as bubblegum pink, shown) and a clever odometer tucked right over the wheel so you can easily see how far your client has walked.

Chill-Out Chair Options
Chill-Out Chair Options
As Seen at ISS: Sometimes, a kid’s just gotta chill — but finding just the right location can be a challenge for kids with postural issues. Freedom Concepts’ Chill-Out Chair has long offered comfortable, upright, independent seating via a deep-V foam design that hugs and “cocoons” kids to eliminate the needs for straps or restraints. Now, the attractive and appealing Chill-Out Chair has a new array of options, including an All-Terrain Wheel Kit so the chair can be taken on gravel roads or outdoor trails, and Sunbrella fabrics that stand up to family camping trips and lounging on patios.
Innovation in Motion
Mini Standy DJ
Here’s a stander that kids can really rock! The Ormesa Mini Standy DJ combines the many clinical, cognitive and social benefits of standing with engaging music generated by an audio device under the stander’s platform. As the child is in the stander, he/she hears the music and feels the music’s vibrations through the stander’s supports, platform and table. More entertainment can mean more time spent standing! The Mini Standy DJ comes in three sizes for kids from 29" to 59" tall.
