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.

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.

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.

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!

We chose the Innowalk because it gives the closest “normal walking” training as possible, and it’s so easy! The movement is the closest to being anatomically correct, which is invaluable for children who are trying to build themselves back up after an injury. It is an especially fantastic tool for us therapists who use the Normal Movement principals. Training to stand is often passive for children in this group. Innowalk is active, and that’s what I as a therapist want to see more of. Also, it’s fun to use, and that means an increased motivation to train with it. There is only ONE thing that I would change about it: That it would come in larger sizes for taller children! Some children are already 170cm tall by the time they are 13 years old….and the last time I was testing the Innowalk, I asked about this. I’m not sure if you have looked further into this matter, but I hope you do! Remember that training and activity aids are granted (by the state) until the age of 26!

My client uses the Innowalk at school. With the Innowalk, my client can train and stretch his legs, and at the same study and learn at school.

I have a disease called Proteus Syndrome, and it is quite progressed. After I turned 12 I began to move less and less, and I completely stopped walking and moving by the time I turned 15/16 years old. I noticed I became more and more stiff. In May of 2008, I had to amputate my left leg just over my knee. I was able to move to the bed and sofa with a wheelchair, but it was difficult and I pulled my muscles a lot. Before I was amputated, I saw the Innowalk on TV and I thought to myself right away that I wanted to have one of those! I asked my therapist if we could apply for one. At first she said no, but luckily she agreed in the end. Now I use the Innowalk anywhere from 20 to 80 minutes almost every day. I’ve noticed that I have become stronger and it’s much easier for me to move around. I almost never pull my muscles anymore! I am very satisfied with the Innowalk!
User
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!
