Kaye Posture Control Walker
The Kaye Posture Control Walker holds a strong position for patients with significant postural needs by emphasizing precise trunk and pelvic stabilization within a posterior support configuration. Compared with the Rifton Pacer’s general-purpose versatility, Kaye’s technical focus on posture control delivers targeted therapeutic benefits for complex postural presentations, although it is often positioned as a more specialized (and sometimes higher-cost) option than basic rollers like the Drive Wenzelite. Clinicians pick Kaye when controlled posture alignment takes precedence over broad accessory modularity.
