Parallel Bars – 8’ Compact, Adjustable Gait Training for Rehabilitation
This 8’ parallel bar system is designed for rehabilitation and gait training in physiotherapy and neuro-rehabilitation environments. Its robust steel structure, adjustable handrails, and fold-away design support safe, progressive ambulation while optimizing clinical space.
The system features a painted steel frame, complete with integrated access ramps to facilitate safe patient entry and exit. Handrails adjust in height from 80 to 110 cm (31.5–43.3 in) via a telescopic system, secured by a twin hand-wheel locking mechanism that prevents accidental loosening and eliminates micro-settling during patient loading.
The thermoplastic, non-slip handrails are durable, hygienic, and easy to disinfect, making the unit suitable for high-use clinical settings. To support progressive rehabilitation, the parallel bars are compatible with thermoplastic modules, motor-training accessories, sensory bags, and pads of varying densities, enabling therapists to introduce controlled instability and task-specific gait challenges.
