LiteGait I models have battery operated vertical lifts that bring patients (up to 150/200/250/350 lbs.) from a seated position to proper upright posture appropriate for walking.
The patient is kept in a comfortable, fall free environment, enabling both the patient and the therapist to concentrate on the therapy session much earlier in the rehabilitation process. LiteGait is like a second set of hands, because it frees the therapist to observe gait patterns and make manual adjustments in limb placement, weight shift, walking symmetry and gait timing. Proper upright posture is maintained throughout the training session, which facilitates changes in posture, balance, specific muscular strength and overall gait patterns. The LiteGait I unit, like all of the LiteGait units, can be used over ground or in conjunction with a treadmill. LiteGait I comes with various sized bases to accommodate most treadmills and is adjustable to fit a wide variety of patient sizes.
