What Are Adaptive Trainers?

If you have a difficult time lifting your feet fully off the ground as you walk to maintain a natural gait, adaptive trainers can help.

Adaptive trainers are a special type of footwear designed to be extra accommodating. The broadest definition is simply a trainer that enhances comfort, stability, and mobility through features such as slip resistance and adjustable straps.

Cadense adaptive trainers go a step further, however, featuring variable friction technology to increase the ease with which you can walk across uneven surfaces.

Evolution of Adaptive Technology

Over recent years, more companies have seen the value in offering adaptive footwear and attire. 

Coresight Research reported in 2019 that the amount of untapped opportunity in this market was roughly $47.3 billion.

It isn’t just the discovery of this market potential that has pushed the evolution of adaptive trainer technology forward, however. The science of footwear has also evolved.

In fact, Cadense began working on adaptive trainers in 2011, which was when a robotic system called MIT Skywalker was able to identify the individual components of a natural gait. 

Cadense researcher Dr. Tyler Susko was able to use this discovery to develop adaptive trainers in collaboration with Dr. Elliot Hawkes.

What types of Adaptive Trainers exist?

Adaptive trainers come in multiple sizes and colors. You can find adaptive trainers for men or women, adaptive trainers for seniors, and adaptive trainers that are designed to help with a number of different health conditions. While some adaptive trainers are extremely specialized for one particular purpose, you can also find versatile adaptive trainers that work great for a broad range of conditions and activities.

What conditions can adaptive trainers help with?

Adaptive trainers can help you walk safely and comfortably if you have a health condition such as foot drop, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, neuropathy or Parkinson’s. You may also find adaptive footwear helpful if you are recovering from a stroke. You do not have to have a health condition to benefit from adaptive footwear, either. Anyone who wants to walk safely and comfortably may enjoy wearing adaptive trainers.

More Information on adaptive trainers

Cadense Original Adaptive Trainers for men and women feature two elevated nylon pucks on the sides of the soles, providing low-friction surfaces. An articulated rocker made from foam is able to absorb the pucks when needed, which can activate the high-friction part of the trainer. 

With this variable friction technology, the wearer can “glide” across obstacles and uneven surfaces, walking smoothly and safely. 

Cadense Original Adaptive Trainers are available in multiple sizes and colors, ensuring that every person can fight the right fit for both their feet and their personality.
