Parallel Walking Bars – Professional Gait Rehabilitation System
The Medansh Parallel Walking Bar System is an essential rehabilitation infrastructure for physiotherapy clinics, hospitals, and neuro-rehabilitation centres. Designed for progressive gait training in patients recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, hip and knee replacement, and lower limb fractures, parallel bars provide the stable bilateral support needed for safe, supervised ambulation training from the earliest stages of weight-bearing recovery.
Clinical Applications
- Post-Stroke Hemiplegia: First-stage ambulation training with bilateral upper limb support. Parallel bars allow the therapist to work on weight transfer, step initiation, and swing-through gait patterns while the patient maintains safe standing balance through the bars.
- Total Knee Replacement (TKR): Progressive loading protocol from partial to full weight-bearing. Parallel bars enable controlled quadriceps loading during the critical 2–6 week post-operative window when gait confidence is lowest.
- Total Hip Replacement (THR): Hip abductor strengthening during standing and stepping. The bars ensure hip precaution compliance during the restricted range of motion period (6–12 weeks post-surgery).
- Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation: Standing frame progression to assisted gait for incomplete SCI patients. Parallel bars with a stable base allow therapists to apply manual facilitation techniques at the pelvis and lower limbs safely.
- Paediatric Gait Development: Cerebral palsy, developmental delay, and post-surgical gait training for children aged 4–16 with the 6-foot configuration.
- Elderly Fall Prevention: Balance retraining and confidence-building for seniors discharged from hospital after fall-related injuries.
Available Configurations
- 6 Feet (₹12,000): Compact configuration for small clinics, home therapy setups, and paediatric rehabilitation. Adequate for 4–5 step gait cycles.
- 8 Feet (₹14,000): Standard clinical configuration. Provides 6–8 step gait cycles — sufficient for most rehabilitation protocols and clinical assessments.
- 10 Feet (₹16,000): Full-length configuration for large rehabilitation centres, hospitals, and sports medicine facilities. Allows complete gait cycle analysis and longer distance ambulation training.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which length should I buy for my clinic?
A: 8 feet is the most popular for standard physiotherapy clinics. Choose 6 feet only if space is very limited. 10 feet is recommended for dedicated rehabilitation centres and hospital physiotherapy departments.
Q: Can these be used outdoors?
A: The stainless steel construction tolerates outdoor use. However, the rubber floor feet are designed for indoor flat surfaces. For outdoor installation, bolt-down base plates are recommended (available as an accessory).
Q: How much floor space is needed?
A: The 8-foot bars require approximately 10ft × 4ft of clear floor space including therapist working area alongside the patient.
