About
Footbar® Walker is a patented walker that assists patients and caregivers. Winner of the 2019 Safe Patient Handling Innovation Award, the FOOTBAR features a unique PULLBAR designed to improve, retrain or regain sit-to stand transfer function which may be lost due to surgery, injury, age, chronic medical conditions or disease progression which may be physical or neurological in nature. Sit to stand limitations may prevent the completion of MRADLs (mobility related activities of daily living) and IADLs (independent activities of daily living). When patient STS limitations exist, often times other medical equipment or alternatives such as mechanical lifts, 2-person lift, chair lifts, gait belts and caregivers are utilized to achieve sit to stand functions. The Footbar® Walker improves function and may return independence. Some conditions and diagnoses the FOOTBAR has been able to improve or regain lost function from: Osteoarthritis, chronic pain suffers, surgery for hip and knee replacement, amputation, Alzheimer's/dementia(s), Obesity, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, Parkinson's, Transverse Myelitis, generalized weakness, Neuromuscular Disease, Stroke, Sarcopenia, and Multiple Sclerosis. The FOOTBAR Walker is FDA approved and both Medicare and Medicaid eligible.
