The WALKER® & BioWalker® system supports upright positioning and gait training for children with limited independent mobility, offering lower-limb stabilization and safer, guided movement with a parent or caregiver.
Features (WALKER® & BioWalker®)
WALKER® is a pediatric HKAFO orthosis designed to support upright positioning and structured gait training.
It stabilizes the hip, knee, ankle & foot to promote more consistent alignment during assisted walking practice.
A dedicated connection element helps limit excessive leg abduction during stepping, supporting a clearer lower-limb walking pattern.
ROM adjustment at the knee and ankle supports individualized training progression, as set by a qualified specialist.
BioWalker® is a caregiver-assisted walking solution that helps a child maintain upright posture and take steps with added security.
Its design focuses on comfort and posture control, supporting a more organized daily mobility routine.
MaxComfort™ is a multilayer comfort material designed for stable fitting and a skin-friendly feel during extended use.
Fitting and ROM settings should be performed under the guidance of a healthcare professional to match the child’s needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the main difference between WALKER® and BioWalker®, and how do I choose?
WALKER® (HKAFO) focuses on joint stabilization and gait-pattern guidance through ROM settings. BioWalker® focuses on caregiver-assisted upright positioning and stepping with added support. The choice depends on the training goal and a specialist’s assessment.
Why does knee & ankle ROM adjustment matter in day-to-day training?
ROM control helps define clear movement limits so training can progress in a consistent, structured way. This supports a more organized stepping routine with improved position awareness and control during practice.
How can upright positioning and foot-to-ground contact support the child’s experience?
Foot contact provides sensory input (proprioception) and supports a more realistic sense of weight-bearing and balance. With correct fitting, this can make training feel more functional and closer to everyday movement.
