Home Walkers
The patient has the ability or potential to use a prosthesis to move from place
to place or for walking on a flat surface at low speed. The walking time and the
walking distance are both short due to his condition.
Treatment Objective : to restore the patient's ability to stand and enable
him to walk around at home.
Unrestricted Outside Walkers
The patient has the ability or potential to use a prosthesis for walking at moderate
to high and variable speeds, and to overcome most obstacles. He is also able to
move around on open ground and can carry out occupational, therapeutic and other
activities that do not exert undue mechanical stresses on the prosthesis. The user
may have an additional need for safety due to secondary circumstances ( additional
handicap, special living conditions ) in connection with moderate to high mobility
demands. The walking time and the walking distance are both marginally limited compared
with healthy individuals.
Treatment objective : to restore the patient's ability to stand and enable
him to walk around unhindered at home and, with minor restrictions only, outside.
Restricted Outside Walkers
The patient has the ability or potential to walk at low speed with a prosthesis
and to overcome minor obstacles such as kerbs, single steps or uneven ground. The
walking time and the walking distance are both limited due to his condition.
Treatment objective : to restore the patient's ability to stand and enable
him to walk around at home and in the immediate vicinity.
Unrestricted outside-walkers with particularly high demands
The patient has the ability or the potential to walk with a prosthesis as well as the
unrestricted outside walker. In addition, high impact stresses, strains and deformations
may occur because of the user's high functional demands. The walking time and the
walking distance are unlimited.
Treatment objective : to restore the patient's ability to stand and enable
him to walk around unhindered at home and with unlimited walking and mobility outside.
