Keep moving: Aids for walking & moving for children
Assistive devices for children and young people – promoting mobility, independence, and participation
Walking aids, crawling aids, rollators, and other aids enable children and young people with physical limitations to lead active and independent lives. They help them to walk safely, strengthen their muscles, and practice movement sequences. At the same time, they promote mobility, independence, and participation in everyday life, at school, during leisure time, and in social activities.
For an aid to be most effective, individual adjustment is just as crucial as professional advice from therapists or specialized specialists. This is the only way to ensure that the child receives the best possible support, experiences comfort, and continues to enjoy movement in the long term.
With the right aids, children and adolescents can further develop their motor skills, strengthen their self-confidence, and actively participate in life.
