Drawing from the strongest features of the MyWay gait trainer, the MyWay has been redesigned and enhanced to offer a more personalized experience in gait training. Featuring an open frame and a cutting-edge wraparound harness, along with a variety of accessories, the MyWay is customizable to meet the unique needs and abilities of each child. Recognizing the importance of early intervention for maximizing a child's development, the size 1 frame has been adjusted to better fit the body proportions of younger children, providing an optimal foundation for their physical, cognitive, emotional, and social growth.
