Conventional therapy to improve your walking involves registered physiotherapists repeatedly walking with you over and over as you hopefully gain strength. One problem with conventional gait training is a patient’s muscles fatigue too quickly. Affected limbs are not able to support your body weight hence the difficulty walking.
Improvements in ambulation following a stroke are hard because a person has difficulty reaching a level of intensity, frequency and duration of therapeutic exercises that results in changes in function.
The Alter G enables a person with decreased strength in their lower extremity to train at an appropriate intensity, frequency and duration to benefit and achieve a training effect given their weakened state allowing them to practice at a therapeutic intensity and obtain the benefit of training and repetition.
