The walking aid that adapts to you!

Pedestrian is an adjustable walking aid for individuals recovering from musculoskeletal injuries or mobility impairments. It adapts to changing support needs, minimizes secondary damage, and features a modular design for easy adjustments and transitions between three modes of use.

Transformable Assistance System

Walking aids are essential for recovery from musculoskeletal injuries or mobility impairments, but they often fail to adapt to changing support needs during healing. Strong support is needed initially, with lighter aid required later. Current aids are not dynamic, lack ergonomics, and can cause secondary damage, leading to crutches being discarded after short-term use.

Pedestrian addresses this gap by offering a walking aid that bridges the divide between temporary crutches and long-term solutions like wheelchairs. It focuses on minimizing secondary damage while providing a practical and comfortable experience that enables users to remain active in daily life. With a user-friendly design, Pedestrian allows for seamless integration into everyday routines.

The system is easily adjustable to meet individual needs, with modular components for simple part replacement and customization. Pedestrian adapts to varying recovery stages, supporting users through the ups and downs of the healing process with smooth transitions between three modes of use, each offering a different level of support.
