We have a stander but I want and I think that if given a change he could/would walk a little. My plan is to use this idea to make my son a lightweight gait trainer with a seat because he can not stand on his own. I want him to be able to play outside!Mhollowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443903326475231115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3243072766790323714.post-88902577752049356882012-07-05T10:09:29.189-05:002012-07-05T10:09:29.189-05:00Could you email some directions oor helpful hints ...Could you email some directions oor helpful hints or the link for video youu found. I am a nurse caring for a now 21 year old boy who suffered a traumatic brain injury and cannot get insurance to pay for a gait trainer/adult walker. He is doing so well in his recovery but his mom is a widow who barelly gets by financially. I would greatly apppreciate any info you could give me on building one of these out of PVC...like if their is a certain type or size of PVC that should be used. He is 6'1" and 183#.

I'm constantly making things for Rae in an effort to meet whatever need is presented at the time. Right now we're trying to figure out how we can go on bike rides since she can't use traditional bike seats or trailers.RettMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240398827208816505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3243072766790323714.post-55760645281309268682012-03-08T14:49:58.434-06:002012-03-08T14:49:58.434-06:00This is awesome, Kim! Don't you just LOVE PVC?...This is awesome, Kim! Don't you just LOVE PVC? It falls into the same can't-live-without-it category as Velcro and duct tape. I really like the big outdoor wheels...what a gift of freedom for Asa. I bet he DOES get a big smile on his face!!!<br /><br />Your husband is so crafty. Mine is as well and built a PVC gait trainer for our daughter (that was 14 yrs ago--whew!), suspending a seat from a baby jumper in the frame. Pretty cool!Rose-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01125239149179291715noreply@blogger.com
