The MyWay Stander/Walker By Leckey
The MyWay standing walker has been expertly designed and crafted by adaptive and mobility innovators, Leckey for use by special needs children between the ages of 1 and 16 years, who are unable to stand or walk but would certainly love to get up and get on the move!
The benefits of an upright walker or mobile stander such as the Leckey MyWay run deep and wide, from reams of circulatory, metabolic and orthopedic benefits to the priceless opportunity for interaction, engagement, exploration and exercise, which in turn allows for an ever increasing sense of wellbeing, as well as psychological and intellectual stimulation and development.
The MyWay boasts three harness sizes and three frame or base sizes, with the maximum user weight being determined by a combination of the two chosen options. Of course, the carer can choose the same standard size for both options, should the child fall within the limits for that particular combination.
What this feature allows for is a massive range of height and weight growth and development, so your loved one can utilize this particular model for the near-entirety of their growth phase and childhood.
The MyWay’s innovative saddle and harness support system is a first-in-class achievement from Leckey, which will provide all the core stability required to control and help your loved one control their head and limb movement and ambulation…making those happy steps that much easier and far more comfortable.
Head control, along with its resultant balance and navigation / co-ordination benefits, is further enhanced with the help of the optional adult connection belt, which attaches to the MyWay frame, allowing the therapist or carer to manually facilitate head lift and rotation from either the shoulders or arms of the user, whilst still controlling the moment of the device.
The harness’s snug fit provides proprioceptive feedback, optimizing head and limb control and movement, while fluctuating movement and balance issues are dampened by the stability and alignment which this unique harness provides.
Furthermore, the incredible alignment benefits of this harness and saddle combination may include the prevention of lower limb scissoring, with or without the use of the optional ankle guides.
Complete with fully adjustable straps and snap-buckles, contoured and padded, hygienic supports and guides for the head, neck, trunk and (optional) ankles, as well as a comfortable, padded saddle, the MyWay by Leckey will have your little one walking and even running and playing in no time at all.
The Leckey MyWay’s ultra-lightweight but sturdy frame, in combination with the device’s zippy, multidirectional castors, with adjustable resistance, provides the utmost ease of maneuverability, perfect for special needs children who experience weakness as a result of low tone.
Fine-tuneable height and angle adjustment on the frame will allow carers to ensure that the MyWay system is optimized for the user to initiate independent stepping and joyous play!
