Gait Trainer (ME 470 Senior Design Capstone Project – Fall 2019)J-Walk Gait TrainerJ-Walk Gait Trainer

Gait trainers (mobility aids that provide constant support) for adults currently on the market are limited, bulky, expensive, and hard to obtain without a prescription. The J-Walk is our team’s solution to this issue. Its design is based on making simple, inexpensive, yet effective modifications to an existing walker, the Triumph Escape. These modifications are able to be easily altered so that the design can accommodate a range of heights.
