Podpórki rehabilitacyjne są sprzętem pomocniczym ułatwiającym pionizację i
poruszanie się pacjentów o różnym typie zaburzeń motorycznych. Mogą być
stosowane jako pomoc dla pacjentów po zabiegach chirurgicznych (operacje w
obrębie kończyn dolnych) nie mogących posługiwać się kulami, nie wykazujących
zaburzeń koordynacyjnych, pacjentów z lekką dysfunkcją kończyn dolnych lub ich
osłabieniem. Są stosowane w przypadku pacjentów z zaburzeniami równowagi
uniemożliwiającymi samodzielną pionizację i lokomocję oraz różnego typu
dysfunkcjami krążeniowymi (np. chromanie przestankowe). Podpórki mogą być
również stosowane jako pomoc w lokomocji pacjentów geriatrycznych.
