A client who needs a communication device has to be able to reach it while they are walking, or the device stops being theirs. The Pacer communication tray puts it in front of them on the gait trainer.
The tray mounts to the Pacer through a system with a wide range of positions, so the surface can be set exactly where the client can see and touch it. It holds tablets and other mobile devices, and it doubles as a surface for anything else a client wants to carry with them.
For a speech pathologist and a physio working on the same client, that means gait practice and communication practice stop competing for the same session. The tray comes off when it is not wanted, so the Pacer goes back to an open configuration for harder walking work.
