Heron
All-in-one gravity assistance
A versatile off-loading solution
It facilitates training exercises for mobility disorders
All-in-One Solution
Bringing together in a single system all the gravity assistance functions for adults or children during transfers, walking, balance training or crawling, this hybrid solution is also suitable for the support of the lower or upper limbs alone.
With a unique design and features, HERON represents a simple and compact assistive device adapted to a wide range of therapeutic indications, throughout the rehabilitation continuum. HERON can assist the clinician to realize a safe and simple transfer of the patient : from sitting (chair or wheelchair) to standing, from standing to crawling, from a bed to sitting or standing position.
Heron is recommended for:
Amputees
Stroke
Cerebral palsy
Parkinson's disease
Orthopedic conditions
Brain injuries
Multiple sclerosis
Polytrauma
Spinal cord injury
LOWER AND UPPER LIMBS
Early and acute rehabilitation
- LOWER LIMBS LYING
- LOWER LIMBS while seated
- UPPERS LIMBS while seated
- UPPER LIMBS while standing
EXTENDED LOWERS
By relieving the weight of the legs while lying on a physiotherapy table or directly in the patient's bed, HERON facilitates the mobilization of the patient or simplifies the realization lower limb movement exercises. This mode of use is particularly suitable for the acute and early phase.
LOWER LIMBS while seated
HERON also allows leg support while seated, from a chair or directly from the patient's wheelchair.
The rotating suspension hanger will ensure smooth movement of both legs simultaneously or alternately.

UPPERS LIMBS while seated
Gravity compensation for one or two arms
HERON is equipped with a retractable suspension module of the upper limb favoring an optimal mobilization of the arms during functional movements.

UPPER LIMBS while standing
HERON allows you to perform tasks that promote natural movement facilitated by gravity assistance.
Unilateral or bilateral support is possible during dynamic exercises in a standing position with great freedom of movement.

WALK AND BALANCE
Dynamic relief for posture and gait training
- BALANCE & POSTURAL CONTROL
- OVERGROUND GAIT
- TREADMILL WALK
- CRAWLING
BALANCE & POSTURAL CONTROL
Full or partial unloading of the patient with an adjustable body weight percentage provides the option of a safe environment during balance and postural control exercises.
The ergonomic harness provides patient support with an easy installation and adjustment system.

OVERGROUND GAIT
HERON is a compact and handy device perfectly suited to secure the patient during floor gait training and while controlling the level of compensation.
The dynamic support of the body weight ensures a vertical displacement respectful of the physiological walking movements.
The dynamic support of the body weight ensures a vertical displacement respectful of the physiological walking movements.
TREADMILL WALK
Thanks to an adjustable width electrically controlled by the remote control, HERON adapts to most treadmills.
It allows good gait training with total safety against the patient falling.
This makes it easier to achieve better gait training efficiency and intensity.

CRAWLING
The HERON harness also keeps the patient in the 4-legged position for both children and adults.
This specific training generates better coordination of movements and represents one of the great challenges in the first stages of neurorehabilitation exercises.

It is a device that we use a lot at the level of the center and which finds its place in rehabilitation, with indications for which we usually have little means.
