Robotic Gait Rehabilitation in Parkinson's Disease

The G-EO Gait Trainer uses distal fixation to promote a gait recovery by facilitating a controlled walking environment that includes an over-ground pattern and stair climbing. In addition, the device provides body position control to enable the patient to concentrate on the cyclical motion of walking without the fear of falling. Physical therapists can control different parameters of the gait cycle through computerized adjustments and the training setting can be manipulated to engage patients in active participation.

Therapists will use traditional methods of neurological rehabilitation for improved gait and balance. These approaches will include stretching, strengthening, therapeutic exercises, balance training, and over-ground walking
