The Unweighing System and Lite Gait systems can be used with or without our treadmill to provide partial, weight bearing walking to our clients who require extra support to walk safely. By removing some body weight, we are able to train their walking at faster speeds and with more repetitions than if the therapist were assisting the client alone. This equipment also helps us to aid patients in fine tuning their walking skills, such as advancing a weak leg, while keeping them safely supported. These devices allow us to focus on gait training and balance tasks while eliminating the patients' fear of falling.
The Pediatric Walkable provides a similar experience as our Unweighing system and LiteGait systems, but for our smallest clients. It is designed to accommodate children up to 4' 8" tall and 100 pounds and allows us to assist them in achieving the important milestone of walking.
