Abstract

The swivel walker allows children improved function and independence. The support in the vertical posture which it produces also has psychological and physiological advantages. In this chapter we report our experience of the use of swivel walkers by children with spina bifida. We have also redesigned the swivel walker in such a way that the patient can approach and don the walker from a wheelchair.
