BODY WEIGHT SUPPORTED
GAIT TRAINING

CONTACT USBOOK ONLINE NOW

Body weight supported gait training is an activity-based rehabilitative strategy that provides the sensory experience of walking, with the goal of re-training neural pathways, ultimately resulting in ambulation.

Why use it?

Advances in research suggest that functional neuro-recovery offers tremendous potential in rehabilitation medicine. The rewiring of neural pathways or the recruitment of new pathways to control movement offer hope for the restoration of function following traumatic injury.

We now know that the central nervous system is malleable and can still adjust and relearn post-injury

Our Approach

Our experienced therapists at The Waterfall Clinic use the hoist system along with a body supportive jacket to allow supported walking in a safe and controlled manner. 

Following step training using body weight support on a treadmill, the patient then progresses to over-ground walking training and finally to community ambulation training.

This training helps to improve balance, motor control, weight-bearing ability and the re-creation of a natural gait. It also increases endurance and speed.
