Post-operative Lite Run Study

"Lite Run is a new system for the treatment of patients with gait and balance difficulties that uses differential air pressure inside a lower body suit to reduce up to 50 percent of a patient's body weight. The suit is similar to a pair of pants in appearance and is as easy to don and doff as a pair of pants. The suit uses technology like astronaut spacesuits to achieve comfort and flexibility while providing a unique unweighting effect that facilitates patient ambulation from sitting through taking steps. The suit is used in conjunction with the Lite Run Gait Trainer, which provides air pressure to the suit and support for the patient."

The usual clinical treatments (standard of care treatments) will be used to assist patients in weightbearing and walking.
