Also referred to as a "Cardiac Walker", the EVA pneumatic support walker is easily adjustable to suit different patient heights, while the welded steel frame provides added security and safety. Designed with comfort in mind, the Eva Walker comes equipped with padded arm rests that are molded with a forearm cutout so user's arms do not slide out, while comfortable handgrips in front of the armrests provide users with a more ergonomic grip.

The EVA patient support walker was designed with cardiac patients in mind that have sternal precautions (no pushing, no pulling, limit reaching, avoid twisting and bending) as it allows for safe gait training with support from the walker without breaking any of the precautions. The EVA pneumatic support walker takes 80% of the pressure away from the sternum compared to a standard walker, which allows for much earlier ambulation, post-op. Along with the available accessories, this cardiac walker is a perfect fit for any surgical floor.
However, many other patients can benefit from it as well. A patient who is non-weight bearing on an upper extremity would be unable to participate in gait training utilizing a traditional rolling walker. However, with the EVA therapy walker, they would have the proper support they would need during gait training and they would be able to adhere to their weight bearing precautions.
Patients who would also benefit from the EVA cardiac walker are ones who have a difficult time standing up straight. The EVA therapy walker could be used as a standing frame to address postural deficits in preparation for gait training. The added support the patient would receive from the EVA walker could help build confidence and increase safety.
And finally, for those patients with significant arthritis in the hands who have a difficult time with grasping a traditional rolling walker, the EVA pneumatic support walker may be a better fit. While still providing support for walking to increase functional gait and balance, the patient doesn't have to worry about the pain and discomfort they may experience in their hands as a result of the arthritis.
The EVA cardiac walker can help build confidence, increase safety, and allow patients to improve their gait pattern and increase their distance before they are able to transition to a more traditional rolling walker.
