Gait Training Center & Falls Prevention

Gait training refers to the process of improving a person’s walking pattern, known as their gait. It involves addressing various walking problems that occur due to physical conditions, many of which are beyond the individual’s conscious control. Most, but not all, are due to some physical condition.

Equipment Used in Gait Training at Our Centre

(1) Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)

FES helps to stimulate specific muscles to improve muscle function and co-ordination during walking.

(2) Treadmill Training

Utilized to enhance endurance and cardiorespiratory functions, particularly effective post-cardiac surgery or for conditions leading to generalized weakness.

(3) Functional Lower Extremity Training

Targeted at individuals with sensory loss, limb loss (e.g., amputation), or those using aids and prostheses to improve upper limb strength and learn new walking techniques.

(4) Treadmill Training with Body-Weight Support (BWS) Combined

Facilitates safe and early patient mobilization by providing partial weight-bearing therapy.

BWS systems, such as the Biodex Unweighing System, allow for dynamic suspension, accommodating vertical displacement of the centre of gravity during walking and maintaining consistent unweighting.

(5) Over-Ground Training

Involves walking on various surfaces and negotiating obstacles to regain independent and safe walking ability. Includes walking on slopes, stairs, foam surfaces, and utilizing walking aids such as sticks, crutches, walkers, or artificial limbs post-amputation.

(6) Brace-Assisted Walking

Utilized for individuals who struggle to bear weight on affected lower limbs, requiring braces or callipers to support walking.
