No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Unstrained ambulation is the main goal of gait rehabilitation for preventing fatigue and increasing functionality in patients with gait deficiencies. The Up n' Free (Easy Walking) is a gait trainer equipped with a dynamic partial weight-bearing. The trainer is designed to provide the user with independence, safety, and endurance. It allows for easy transfer from sitting to standing position and stabilizes the pelvis, allowing for free movement of the hands. The effectiveness of the Up n' Free trainer in increasing the patient's functionality at the hospital or at home has not been quantified. We therefore aim to evaluate effectiveness of the gait trainer in increasing the functionality and spatiotemporal parameters of gait of 4 patients.
