Best Hi-Lo Bar
If your team needs one stable rail for gait and balance work, not a full set of parallel bars, a hi-lo bar is built for that. Our HealthTec hi-lo bar range runs from 2.0m to 8.0m, with fixed and electric-width-adjustment models for clinics, hospitals and home rehab.

Choosing the Right Hi-Lo Bar for Your Facility
The right hi-lo bar comes down to three things: how long a rail you need, whether staff want manual or electric width adjustment, and whether it mounts to a wall or the floor. All models support balance training and gait re-education, and come with NDIS quote support and bulk ordering for multi-unit facility orders.
Hi-Lo Bar Lengths: 2.0m to 8.0m
HealthTec hi-lo bars run from 2.0m through to 8.0m. A 2.0m to 4.0m bar suits a home rehab room or a small treatment bay. A 6.0m to 8.0m bar suits a hospital gym or ward corridor, giving several patients room to complete a full walking pattern on the one rail.
Fixed-Width vs Electric-Width-Adjustment Hi-Lo Bars
A fixed-width hi-lo bar sets height only and holds its position reliably for a stable caseload. An electric-width-adjustment bar changes both height and width at the push of a button, cutting the manual handling that repeated adjustment adds to a busy clinic or ward shift.
Wall-Mounted vs Floor-Fixed Hi-Lo Bars
A wall-mounted hi-lo bar fixes to a solid wall run along a corridor or treatment room, keeping the floor completely clear. A floor-fixed bar bolts to the slab and works anywhere with a stable base, including the middle of an open gym. Check your wall structure and floor plan before ordering.
One Rail, Not Two: How a Hi-Lo Bar Differs from Parallel Bars
A hi-lo bar is a single height-adjustable rail for one-sided support, not a matched pair. It suits patients who need light contact on one side while walking, or a lower-cost, lower-footprint option than a full parallel bars set. Many hospitals, nursing homes and OTs stock a hi-lo bar alongside walking aids and full parallel bars, using the hi-lo bar for earlier-stage or one-sided gait practice and the two-rail set for later-stage supported walking. It pairs well with our broader senior exercise equipment range. NDIS plan managers and procurement teams can request a formal quote for single units or bulk facility orders.
What length hi-lo bar do I need for my facility?
HealthTec hi-lo bars come in lengths from 2.0m up to 8.0m. Shorter bars suit a home rehab room or a small treatment bay, while longer bars suit a hospital gym or ward corridor where several patients walk the same rail in a session.
What's the difference between a hi-lo bar and parallel bars?
A hi-lo bar is a single height-adjustable rail, used for one-sided support during gait and balance training. Parallel bars are two rails, used for supported walking between both sides. Many facilities stock both for different stages of a patient's rehab. For more on equipping care facilities, see our guide on patient care equipment in hospitals and nursing homes.
Should I choose a fixed-width or electric-width-adjustment hi-lo bar?
A fixed-width bar is simpler and holds its position for a stable caseload. An electric-width-adjustment bar lets staff change the width at the push of a button, which suits a facility treating patients of different builds through the day without manual adjustment.
Should a hi-lo bar be wall-mounted or floor-fixed?
Wall-mounted bars suit a corridor or treatment room with a solid wall run and keep the floor clear. Floor-fixed bars work anywhere with a stable slab, including the middle of an open gym space. Check your room layout before ordering. If you're setting up a home rehab space more broadly, our guide to choosing the right walking frame covers the equipment that pairs with hi-lo bar practice.
