Description
Posture & Function
The MyWay+ has a unique, corset-like harness that delivers the core stability required to develop head and limb control, enabling children to achieve an optimum stepping pattern and active movement. The harness guides the dynamic sinusoidal movements required for gait. The harness moves with the child’s movements, it is not stiff or rigid, therefore helping replicate a more natural upright movement pattern.
The improved MyWay+ harness also promotes function, as its superior postural support allows children to focus on moving and participating to the best of their ability, rather than on issues such as trying to keep their head up, feeling unstable etc.
The possibilities for play activities are endless in MyWay+ including football, pushing a doll’s pram, playing at the sandpit, doing table-top activities etc. All these activities provide the child with increased opportunity for learning and development of their physical, cognitive and social skills.
Features & Benefits
Hug-Like Effect
Many children experience difficulties maintaining good trunk alignment when in an upright position but the MyWay+ harness offers something different. The revolutionary MyWay+ harness has been designed to give 360° wraparound support to promote optimal stepping pattern. Its hug-like effect increases sensory feedback, dampens involuntary movement and provides core stability with comfort, support and reassurance. It provides added core stability, which in turn can improve lower limb movements and head control.
Hoistable For Easier Transitions
The MyWay+ harness is hoistable, encouraging easier transitions in and out of the MyWay+ frame, using the optional hoisting straps accessory.
There is no need to use a different hoisting sling to do this, saving time and supporting the child in getting maximum use and enjoyment out of their MyWay+!
New Side Stepping Function
Children with additional needs often have weaker muscles, especially around their hips, which can impact on their gait, function and hip joint development. The new side step function of the MyWay+ locks the wheels of the frame in a sideways position, providing opportunity to target and strengthen hip abductor muscles whilst fully supported in the frame.
