The Tek RMD distinguishes itself from other mobility devices through its unique design philosophy, functionality, and target user needs. This doesn't mean that it is the perfect choice for everyone. Individuals with weak or paralysed limbs will ultimately have different physical abilities and functional goals. The Tek RMD allows individuals who are suitable to use it, to stand and move in their environment and to do this in a way that will enable them to do more than if they just were using a standing frame.
