Rehab Gait Training Device at Neuro Junction Clinic
WHAT IS IT?
It is a gait training device that includes a mobile frame which offers weight bearing support and a versatile harness to assist with standing, walking and running practice.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Rehab Gait Training Device allows the person to be fully supported whilst walking. It enables a controlled progression of weight bearing loading from non-weight bearing to fully weight bearing depending on the clients’ needs. By reducing the amount of weight that a client is taking on their lower limbs it can allow for more coordinated movement patterns during walking practice. The safe harness system allows the physiotherapist to manually assist or provide hands on feedback during gait.
The Rehab Gait Training Device provides support during activities that challenge your balance such as kicking, throwing, and standing with reduced base of support. The harness and weight bearing system helps eliminates patient concerns about balance and falls during these functional tasks.
The frame can be used over a treadmill or over ground to allow a flexible exercise program including practice moving from walking to running. It can be swivelled to allow a person to be positioned forward facing or rear facing depending on the task being practiced. The harness provides frontal, sagittal and transverse plane postural control and support.
WHO IS IT FOR?
This equipment is suitable for anyone that may require assistance with standing, walking or running. Clients who experience balance issues or who have weakness or difficulty with coordinating walking movement patterns can all benefit from using the Rehab Gait Training Device. With the adaptable features, the device creates an ideal environment for treating clients with a wide range of impairments and functional levels.
HOW CAN THIS BENEFIT YOU?
The device allows you the confidence to focus on your walking, running and standing practice without the fear of injury or falling. It enables safe static and dynamic standing balance activities and an individualised level of support during walking and running task practice.
