E-Pacer Gait Trainer

Details & Specs for E-Pacer Gait Trainer

The E-Pacer is an exciting new addition to the Pacer family. Its sit-to-stand lift functionality removes a major barrier to gait training with large or highly dependent clients.

The E-Pacer combines the powerful electric lift column and secure body support of the TRAM with the key gait training features of the classic Pacer. The result is more than the sum of its parts. The E-Pacer can be a life-changing solution for clients who have grown too large or too dependent to be safely transferred into manual gait trainers. Its strong and stable frame can accommodate users up to 6' 5" and 350 lbs.

The Benefits:

• Zero-lift transfers: The E-Pacer can perform the sit-to-stand transfer that is part of every gait training session with no lifting on the part of the caregiver.
• Gait training with extra stability: The E-Pacer’s strong and rigid frame gives security for heavier or taller clients.
• Seat-to-seat transfers:  Attach the thigh straps to the E-Pacer’s body support system and use the E-Pacer to move a client from a wheelchair to a mat table or other surface for therapy.
• Expandable legs: Widen the base legs for clients needing extra step width or to get up close to a wheelchair prior to a transfer.
• Height range: The 26" adjustment range of the E-Pacer’s electric lift column provides great versatility for use with clients of different statures.
• Built-in scale:  The optional Bluetooth-equipped scale and new Gait Tracker mobile app measure the load on the body support, allowing caregivers to track a client’s weight-bearing progress over time.

Features of the E-Pacer:

• Body support. The innovative body support secures the patient with a single buckle, allowing the caregiver to quickly prepare the client for safe gait training.
• Bluetooth connectivity. The E-Pacer’s optional scale can pair with mobile devices via Bluetooth. This enables caregivers to track and record a client’s progress.
• Effortless lifting. The carefully engineered, telescoping lift column gives the E-Pacer an amazing range of adjustment. It can be raised high enough to support a 6'5" walking client and then retract down to 32¾" for compact storage.
• Infinite control. The E-Pacer has the same innovative four-function casters as the rest of the Pacer family.
• Leg expander. Swinging the leg expander bar spreads the E-Pacer frame to fit around large wheelchairs.
• Innovative casters. Control the speed and direction of the E-Pacer with swivel lock/release, directional lock & variable drag.

Optional Accessories:

• Scale. With the scale you can weigh your clients during routine transfers. You can also measure the weight they’re bearing during gait training. And when the scale is paired with a tablet or phone via Bluetooth, Rifton’s new Gait Tracker app can track your client’s weight-bearing progress.Note: The scale must be included in the original purchase. It cannot be added later.
• Odometer. No more counting tiles on the floor! The odometer makes it easy to record how far your client walks, in feet or metres.
• Front handle. The front handle allows a caregiver to maneuver and guide the E-Pacer. It includes an up/down switch to adjust the height of the body support.
• Switch pole. The switch pole lets a caregiver operate the electric lift without bending down (when not using the front handle). It can also be turned around to give the client control of the lift.
