Letters From Our Therapists

The Rifton E-Pacer is the gait trainer that lifts! The largest in the Pacer line, it is a powerful and versatile solution for transfers and gait training, especially for larger or highly dependent individuals. By integrating a strong electric lift column with secure body support, it simplifies sit-to-stand transfers, eliminating the need for manual lifting by caregivers. This innovation can be life changing for users who cannot safely transfer into a gait trainer even with assistance. Supporting individuals up to 6 ft. 5 in. (195.6cm) and 350 lbs.(158.8cm), the E-Pacer effectively blends effortless lifting with essential gait training features in a user-friendly design.

The Rifton E-Pacer offers several key benefits

PLEASE NOTE: Although the anterior position of the E-Pacer is preferrable for lifts, transfers and gait training, the E-Pacer can also be used as a posterior walker and perform lifts and transfers in the posterior direction with the following considerations

• Seat-to-Seat Transfers: Thigh straps can be attached to the body support system, enabling the E-Pacer to assist in moving clients between surfaces like wheelchairs and mat tables.
• Gait Training with Extra Stability: The strong and rigid frame provides secure support for heavier and taller clients during gait training sessions. Optional Pelvic Support accessories can be purchased to increase body support, offer weight bearing assistance and prevent falls.
• Expandable Legs: The base legs can be widened to accommodate larger wheelchairs during transfers and provide space for users needing extra step width.
• Innovative Casters: Standard casters feature swivel lock, brake, variable drag, and directional lock, offering precise control over the E-Pacer's speed and direction.
• Optional Built-in Scale: The E-Pacer offers an optional, Bluetooth-enabled built-in scale. This scale integrates with the Gait Tracker mobile app (available on Android and iOS) to accurately measure and track a client's weight-bearing progress. Connecting via Bluetooth to a or tablet, the E-Pacer scale displays data in Rifton’s Gait Tracker app, which calculates the running average of weight-bearing during gait training. The scale also provides real-time feedback to encourage increased weight-bearing. In medical settings, the scale can be used to weigh seated, suspended users. A bicycle mount can attach a to the handgrip for client visibility. Please Note: The scale must be included in the original purchase of the E-Pacer. It cannot be added after purchase.
• Optional Odometer: This feature allows for easy measurement of distance covered during gait training sessions in feet or meters, eliminating the need for manual measurements.
• Arm support will not be ideal as the arm brackets are positioned for the anterior position. However, adjusting the arm platforms to their rearmost position will allow some support under the elbows and forearms of clients who need it in the posterior position.
• The attachment points of the thigh supports and pelvic harness will be reversed, but with the same functionality.
