Anyone have forearm prompts for a size small pacer gait trainer that they're

looking to sell? Kicking myself for not getting them with the insurance claim,

but wasn't sure they were gonna approve it and I didn't wanna press my luck.

Anyway, they're $400 a pair new so I thought I'd ask here if someone has them

available used. Thanks so much!!

these?

could forearm prompts from walkers work too.   Yes always ask for everything

with insurance claims.  There is no such thing as Cheap pieces for medical

equipment. The worst that can happen is they take it off claim.

Thanks for the advice. I wish I would have done that. It took five months to

get the approval and then another month until we finally received the gait

trainer. He was using it in therapy at the time (14 months old) with the hip

positioner and the trunk support and now that he's older and stronger he can

almost do it on his own with just the forearm prompts, but we can't practice at

home because we don't have them. And when he uses it with the hip positioner

and trunk support now he gets lazy and lets the equipment do all the work, and

will only walk with his left foot. I've taken the seat off and tried it with

just the trunk support and he hates it. Almost falls out of it.

It's frustrating that insurance is such a pain in the ass about all these

things, and that all of this equipment is so expensive. One could buy a car for

the price of most of this equipment. We've already purchased AFO's, a Benik

vest, Benik hand splints, and haberman bottles to avoid the really long

insurance process. If I am unable to find a used set of prompts through

earlyon, wheelchair seating services, or the pmg forums then I'll just go ahead

and buy them. He really needs them.
