If you cant walk can it hoyt you from a wheelchair over upon the treadmill ?

[@sam-junegozo2865]

Yes, this harness system can go over a treadmill. If the patient is in a regular manual wheelchair, it's possible to transfer the wheelchair onto the treadmill, and then assist the patient to stand to place the harness system around them.

Can u pls help me on how to purchase only this harness

[@salwashenouda783]

Is this support can be used at home and where a patient can buy it

[@sam-junegozo2865]

This is a larger piece of equipment, so it's not readily available for home. There may be harness systems out in the market that are similar to this one in the video that I'm not aware of though. There are outpatient clinics that have this device available for use for treatment while undergoing physical therapy sessions.

I would recommend checking with your primary care physician to get further recommendations for physical therapy as well as occupational therapy. Depending on where you are, there could be some neurologic clinics to assist with your needs. Physical and occupational therapists are trained to work with your diagnosis to help you reach your potential. Hope it helps, and good luck! Rooting for you!
