2Introduction

2.1 Description

easy and continuous adjustment with gas spring support

Whether in the gym, in the corridor or as a separate training system - walking

bars are the ideal complement to the available treatments. The individual

settings for height, width and angle of the handrails are crucial for best results,

and they have to be quickly and easily adjusted during a busy working day.

push the button

The h/p/cosmos parawalk®has integrated gas piston height adjustment.

Adjusting the height is child's play - even with just one hand. The width and

angle of the hand rails can be adjusted quickly by lifting the locking lever,

pushing the adjustment button for setting the height and after adjustment

locking the lever again - that's it.

reproducible settings with integrated scale

Once you have found the perfect setting for a patient you will want use this at

the next visit straight away. Therefore, the pillars of the h/p/cosmos parawalk®

have an integrated reading scale. With the help of the scale you can exactly

determine the current position and reproduce simply at the next training

session.
