Secure Tracks includes a ceiling-mounted monorail track, a trolley and a U-shaped support device allowing patients to stand upright and walk with a natural gait without a harness. Recent research has reported that patients walked up to 152 percent farther and 45 percent faster with Secure Tracks than with traditional walkers.
