The HugN-Go is a versatile 3-in-1 mobility device designed for use in the home and in a clinical setting. Its small turn radius, sleek design, and rechargeable battery-powered lift make it easy for one caregiver to safely operate during all three functions. The comfortable, padded buckle system makes it quick and easy to support and lift the user for the three functions. The hand-held control of the powerful actuator enables a caregiver to lift a user for transfers or into standing with little effort, decreasing burden on caregivers. The adjustable chest and hip pads “hug” the user to provide trunk support, while the adjustable armrests and hand grips can be positioned for individual users. Seated transfers can be performed to assist in moving users for commode transfers or bed-to-chair transfers. Users can be lifted into an upright standing position from a bed, commode, or chair. The user can then be supported in standing to safely perform exercises, balance, and other functional activities. Supported ambulation can be performed safely with support easily varied through the touch of a button. The base design provides stability without obstructing normal gait mechanics. Steering casters can be locked to keep the HugN-Go moving in a straight line when indicated and unlocked for turning with a tight turning radius.
Our smallest HugN-Go device is the HugN-Go 250, an assistive device built on the principles of LiteGait. Supported ambulation overground and unencumbered by device inertia. It moves with the patient and supports them as much as needed and catches them should they fall.
