WHAT GRILLO IS AND WHAT IT IS FOR
GRILLO is a walking aid, that’s to say a product that was designed to help and make the
independent moving of a User easier. It is for spasthic/distonic users, for users who have
little brawn or for users who start to walk.
It was designed and made for the user to:
-
walk without help
when independent walking is impossible;
-
train and start the walking process
so that it may be continued without the aid at a
future stage.
It can be used to practice the actions of walking or simply as a
permanent mean of moving around
.
We remind that
the process of walking is simply the movement of a body in an upright
position from one point in space to another
and it is possible by:
- the step pattern (alternate bending and stretching of each leg);
- maintaining the balance of the trunk and pelvis, first on both feet and then on one only
during the moving;
- awareness of space and distance.
GRILLO is used :
a) to generate and help the step pattern;
b) to train in maintaining balance of the trunk and pelvis;
c) to organize a wider structured vision of space, distance and the User's
surroundings in the upright position;
d) to enable the user to plan "projects" and "actions" , for example having the
possibility to see an object, think of its use, work the movement out to reach
the object and use it ;
e)
to develop physical self-sufficiency and psychological independence by
experimenting the possibility of acting alone.
HOW GRILLO WORKS
Grillo compensates the user’s lack of balance thanks to its ergonomic support and wide base, it
allows the user to concentrate his/her residual abilities on walking.
The wide range of components and supports offer maximum versatility.
All accessories are interchangeable quickly and without the use of tools to suit different clinical
pictures.
Adequate training to use it must be given at a rehabilitation centre.
The following information will ensure the best way to use this aid.
Adjustment of the aid
Insert wheel stop
As soon as the User is into the aid, the supports must be closed and the straps must be
fastened. The following heights must be adjusted :
-
the frame height
-
the thoracic support height
-
the pelvic support height
-
the harness height
These adjustments must be made before positioning the user according to the anatomical
measures taken.
Once the User has been positioned, you can proceed with a micro adjustment until the optimal
setting is reached.
