Make The Outdoors Yours.

Every conventional walking device (walkers, rollators canes, forearm crutches, gait trainers) is built primarily for use over smooth, level, indoor floors. The moment a person reaches outdoor surfaces (e.g., uneven, unpredictable terrain— snow, ice, sand, grass, gravel, mulch, a trail, a backyard), the device typically sinks, slips, or simply stops working because today’s walking devices weren’t designed with the outdoors in mind.  TreadBeyond™ is a first-of-its-kind all terrain mobility platform (patent pending)—it includes four device tiers (walker, forearm crutches, cane, and trekking pole) and a family of eight different interchangeable all-terrain base modules.  A user selects which device to use based on their level of ability and then chooses which base modules to use based on the terrain they expect to encounter and what level of support they need (e.g., stability, mobility or a combination of both).  All bases swap in seconds, without tools. The same platform that works outdoors seamlessly transitions indoors and functions inside.  It uses a tool-free locking system, so it quickly breaks down, which allows for easy travel easily by car, plane, bus, or train. It’s the first walking device that adapts to the person and the terrain.

I'm Erin Michael, a physical therapist with more than 20 years of experience helping people navigate mobility challenges every day.  TreadBeyond™ began with a moment I watched repeat itself: children I work with walked independently indoors (with or without a walking device), then were stopped the moment they reached the outdoors.  This winter, I watched these children struggle during outdoor recess—their walkers couldn’t move over snow/ice and their fear of falling kept them from venturing onto the playground.  Currently available products didn’t bridge the gap between indoor and outdoor independence—TreadBeyond™ fills that gap.  For twenty years, I’ve adapted existing equipment to fit the needs of the people I help support--TreadBeyond™ is the first device that will not need to be adapted because it was designed with universal access and user insights in mind from the start.  It was built on the belief that when you design for the most significant challenges a person faces, you also end up creating something that benefits everyone.  It’s meant for anyone whose mobility is challenged at any age for any reason because the outdoors belongs to all of us —and TreadBeyond™ is how everyone can get there to enjoy it.
