Objectives: Describes the redesign of free-weight-based halo gravity traction wheelchairs and walkers to a spring-based system. The treatment of severe pediatric spinal deformities is challenging and associated with significant morbidity. Halo gravity traction (HGT) can be utilized to assist in the correction of severe spinal deformities. A time period of traction may also be used to medically optimize patients prior to surgery. Implementing HGT therapy requires specialized equipment, specially trained hospital staff, as well as significant commitment from caregivers. This study describes the transition from a free weight-based HGT equipment to a spring-based weight system. The new system is expected to decrease the burden of care and improve safety for patients and their families.

Methods: A thorough interview process was carried out to gather data on existing HGT systems. All stakeholders, including orthopedic technicians, nurses, surgeons, patients and their families were asked questions on how to improve the equipment and process. With colleagues at a partner children's hospital, new HGT wheelchairs and walkers with a spring-based weight system were designed and built.

Results: Spring-based weight HGT wheelchairs and walkers are more economical to build, safer, and easier to operate than free-weight-based systems. A cost analysis found that spring-based systems cost $780 less compared to free weight-based systems. In addition, the new spring-based wheelchairs and walkers are about 50% lighter with improved weight distribution making them safer to operate and easier to transport. There is consensus among surgeons, nurses, and families that the redesigned units are easier to operate.

Conclusions: Spring-based weight HGT systems are economically viable and clinically effective for pre-operative traction for children with severe spinal deformities. They are well tolerated by patients and easy to care for by nursing and surgical staff.

Spring is a time when the earth comes to life after a long dormant winter. We shed our heavy woolen layers and opt for lighter fabrics, brighter colors, and add a touch of whimsy in our accessories. This is true when planning a spring wedding as well.

Nothing says spring (and sexy) like peeling away the layers and showing some skin. In addition to strapless consider some alternative necklines such as off the shoulder. It has a romantic flair to any style dress.

Since spring is all about nature coming back to life, it makes sense to incorporate it into your wedding day. This is the beginning of the rest of your lives. Use the spring to frame the love you two will nurture to create a strong and lasting bond.

Nature and spring are full of ideas for adding a little fun and whimsy to any wedding. Not sure how to make it work with your vision? Give one of our consultants a call at 800-255-1771 or click the button below and we can show you how.
