A walker with a device of partial suspension for patients with gait disturbance: body weight supported walker.

30 Aug 2009 We developed a walker, the Body Weight Supported (BWS) Walker, with a device of partial suspension for patients with gait disturbance. It consists of a light frame with casters, a harness, and a winch system. One therapist alone can perform gait ... Read more...

Improved walking ability and reduced therapeutic stress with an electromechanical gait device.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of repetitive locomotor training using a newly developed electromechanical gait device compared with treadmill training/gait training with respect to patient's ambulatory motor outcome, necessary personnel ... Read more...

Use of virtual reality to enhance balance and ambulation in chronic stroke: a double-blind, randomized controlled study.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To examine an additive effect of virtual reality on balance and gait function in patients with chronic hemiparetic stroke. DESIGN: Twenty-four adults with hemiparetic stroke were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (n = 12) ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Gait Disorders, Neurologic'

Definition: Gait abnormalities that are a manifestation of nervous system dysfunction. These conditions may be caused by a wide variety of disorders which affect motor control, sensory feedback, and muscle strength including: CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES; or MUSCULAR DISEASES.
