FALI's weighted walking attachments are the first and only patented weights for walking mobility aids. 

The FALI walker weights were designed by an occupational and a physical therapist to improve independence and reduce fall risks in their patients. 

Therapists, caregivers, and patients have seen the following benefits with the use of our weights on all kinds of assistive devices: 

• Improve safety and independence with transfers and gait
• Improve safety and independence with use of walker or cane during ADLs, IADLs and in the community
• Decrease fall risk
• Improve coordination and decrease ataxia
• Decrease shuffling gait pattern and freezing episodes
• Provide proprioceptive feedback to improve crossing midline during gait
• Provide proprioceptive feedback to decrease retropulsion
• Provide graded feedback by increasing/decreasing weight to improve the level of independence or adapt to changes in function
• The low-profile design provides a more normalized appearance in the community

The Weighted Walking Attachment can benefit people living with various neurological and functional deficits: 

• Parkinson’s Disease
• CVA
• Ataxia 
• Pharmacological-induced parkinsonism, 
• Spinal cord injuries 
• TBIs/ABIs 
• Cerebral palsy 
• Dementia 
• Age-related physical decline
• Age-related physical decline
• Lower extremity neuropathy from diabetes, etc. 
• Lower extremity amputations 
• And other movement disorders

The weighted walking attachments can be used on both adult and pediatric assistive devices like: 

• Walkers
• Rollator walkers / rollators
• Canes
• Crutches
• Pediatric walkers
• U-step

Physical therapists, occupational therapists, and home caregivers have seen success with patients in a variety of settings: 

• Acute care
• Inpatient rehab
• Skilled nursing facilities
• Home Care
• Outpatient rehab
