Testimonials
The NF-Walker is the most important tool for our daughter. It allows her to be at the same height as the other children, and she can stand and walk on her own. Father
I am a mother of a multi-disabled boy. He uses the NF-Walker. There are many great things to be said about the NF-Walker, but what I am most impressed with is the customization and follow-up services provided. The Walker is great for activity and training, and now we hope to try the Innowalk. Mother
We purchased the NF-Walker for our 14 year old daughter. She simply blossoms when she has the ability to move and stand on her own, and she gets the unique opportunity to communicate with other children her own age. We hope that the Innowalk will soon be made for bigger children and teens. Our kids need movement for circulation, better digestion and stronger muscles. I think this product is fantastic and I hope that my daughter will soon be able to enjoy using the Innowalk as well. Mother
Our little 4 yr old girl has a severe case of CP, and her only opportunity to be on the same level as the other children in school has been with the NF-Walker®. Now she is able to join in and dance and walk with the other children. You couldn’t possibly find a happier child! In addition, it jump-starts her gastrointestinal system when she stands, so that is a HUGE plus! Physical Therapist
Our 4 year old girl has enjoyed using both the Innowalk and the NF-Walker. After she received the Innowalk, she has actually started to move her legs by herself in the NF-Walker. Now she is more physically active. Physical Therapist

Our 11 year old daughter has used the NF-Walker since the autumn of 2001. It’s only been in the last year that she has been able to take a few steps with it, so things take time! She has to work extra hard to get around, but she really loves it. Now she has used the Innowalk since the autumn of 2009 and you can see how much she enjoys it! It has had a positive effect on her digestive system, head and neck control, physical condition etc. But most important of all is the elation of being able to move without the awful struggle! Everything is a huge challenge for our daughter, so the Innowalk has been a very positive addition in that it gives her so much ability without the unbelievable hassle on her end. It’s also a very meaningful use of her time since it’s so difficult for her to do activities on her own. I couldn’t be without the Innowalk! Mother
