Locomotor Training is an intensive therapy program that focuses on posture, standing, and walking. Utilising our LiteGait harness system for body-weight support, this training is conducted either on a treadmill or overground, allowing safe and effective practice of walking and movement.
Our specialised therapists provide manual guidance for stepping and standing exercises, stimulating the nervous system and promoting recovery for adults with spinal cord injuries, stroke, acquired brain injuries, and other neurological conditions.
How can locomotor training help you?
- Enhanced Mobility: Improves posture, standing, and walking patterns through repetitive, guided exercises, preserving muscle strength and preventing atrophy.
- Nervous System Engagement: Activates the nervous system to encourage neural recovery and adaptability.
- Skin Health: Increases blood circulation and reduces skin pressure, lowering the risk of pressure sores.
- Bone Health: Weight-bearing activities support bone density, decreasing the risk of fractures.
- Bowel and Bladder Function: Physical activity stimulates bowel and bladder functions, helping prevent constipation and urinary infections.
- Cardiovascular Fitness: Boosts heart and lung function, reducing the risk of cardiovascular and respiratory issues.
