ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic gait harness worn by a patient includes a padded thoracic harness that substantially encircles the patient's waist and which includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced hand holds and clamp-engageable rings that facilitate lifting, holding, manipulation and guidance of a patient who requires help in sitting, standing, or walking. An adjustable belt spans the gap between the opposing ends of the thoracic harness and is used to comfortably tighten the thoracic harness about the wearer's waist. A pelvic support harness depends from the thoracic harness and is detachably secured to the thoracic harness by an elongate zipper. A pair of flat leg straps depend from the pelvic support harness and terminate in thigh straps. Hook and loop fasteners are employed to comfortably secure the thigh straps to the wearer's thighs.
