PREFACE 
This booklet provides the information required for the set 
up and use of the Julian Walkabout
TM
. The benefits of 
using this system can be profound, not only in terms of gait 
development, but also in terms of increasing the child s 
independence, self confidence and social interaction.   
DESIGN GOALS 
The Walkabout
TM
 is designed to give a child the potential 
for hands-free, self-initiated movement while providing 
lateral support and assisted lift.  This spring-assisted lift 
allows for graduated weight relief as the child develops 
skill and standing tolerance.  The adjustable  pitch  of the 
column, along with the pelvic and trunk supports, can be 
utilized to direct weight shift and assist with stepping.  
PRECAUTIONS 
1. This stander should be used under the prescription of the 
child s physician and under the direction of the child s 
therapist. Often, ankle support is required prior to 
utilization of this equipment. 
2. Never leave the child unattended! Maintain adult 
supervision at all times. 
3. This stander is designed for use on level surfaces only. 
4. Do not use for transportation. 
5. Adjust the frame length to suit conditions of use. A short 
base used during play or out-of-doors can be unstable. 
6. Periodically check and tighten all loose fasteners. Loose 
fasteners can cause the Walkabout
TM
 to be inoperable.
