“We find the Biodex Gait Trainer to be terrific for working with very deconditioned individuals including orthopedic, neurologic, older adult, stroke, spinal cord and head injury patients. Because the Gait Trainer has a zero starting speed with 0.1 mph increments, it is perfect for working with patients who are afraid of falling. With the visual and audio feedback, it is easy to keep patients focused and on task. We use the system to promote normal walking patterns, help develop balance and coordination, improve strength and range of motion, and to provide quantified, documented progress to both the patient and third-party payers. We especially like to use the Gait Trainer with stress test patients as we can very gradually and carefully increase the speed without frightening the patient. Of course, safety is of vital importance and the Gait Trainer, with its optional geriatric/pediatric handrails, safety stop button and safety lanyard, is well equipped. Overall, we are very impressed with this product and would gladly recommend it to other clinics and hospitals.”
