Finally, Trainers Designed for Real Mobility Needs.
For too long, people with walking difficulties have been overlooked — a zipper or wide opening was called “adaptive.”
Cadense set out to change that. Our trainers are designed to make walking easier: they glide when you move and stay steady when you stop.
