The term ‘gait’ describes how a person walks – not just how their legs move, but their whole body posture, balance and movement.

We use LiteGait technology to help people achieve a good combination of weight distribution, posture and balance – it can either be used on a treadmill or over the floor.

LiteGait is an excellent way to gain co-ordinated walking movement in a safe way, without the risk of falling or over-stressing joints and muscles, because the person is supported at all times by a harness during treatment.

LiteGait can be used as a partial weight-bearing device so that people can feel lighter, which enables them to walk when they may have previously been unable to. In this way we can get the nervous system to remember the rhythm and routine of walking, assisting in neurological recovery.

We are grateful to The Recovery Project, who are the sole supplier of LiteGait in the UK. they can be found at https://therecoveryproject.co.uk/
