{"title":"Hi-Lo Bar","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!--split--\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the Right Hi-Lo Bar for Your Facility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 id=\"fixed-vs-electric-width\"\u003eFixed-Width vs Electric-Width-Adjustment Hi-Lo Bars\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 id=\"wall-vs-floor-mounted\"\u003eWall-Mounted vs Floor-Fixed Hi-Lo Bars\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOne Rail, Not Two: How a Hi-Lo Bar Differs from Parallel Bars\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hi-lo bar is a single height-adjustable rail for one-sided support, not a matched pair.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between a hi-lo bar and parallel bars?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShould a hi-lo bar be wall-mounted or floor-fixed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWall-mounted bars suit a corridor or treatment room with a solid wall run and keep the floor clear.
