KICKSTART YOUR RECOVERY
The Kickstart™ Walking System is a revolutionary new orthosis designed to provide stability and help users regain walking ability.
It’s a new option to enhance care for your patients with neurological conditions who are unable to walk effectively or are having difficulty making gains in physical therapy, particularly due to:
•Hip flexor weakness
•Difficulty with leg swing, or foot drag even with AFO
•Gait abnormalities such as circumduction, step-to gait, hip hiking or vaulting
•Lack of endurance, stability or coordination
Kickstart is designed to help users overcome walking limitations, regain endurance and confidence, and rediscover the benefits of an active and independent lifestyle.
Kickstart is a life-changing technology that provides stability, control and assist to regain your ability to walk after a stroke, spinal cord injury or other neurological condition such as MS.
