My dog Chuma at her second Physical Therapy session after surgery to repair a completely torn ACL ligament. The vet repaired the damage with the use of synthetics, although I haven’t spoken with the vet to get more details. She does well on the underwater treadmill, but if she gets distracted out the side windows, she turns and slows down. The physical therapist in the pool sometimes has to guide her back on track!

Advantages of Lokomat based training:

• A driven robotic gait system guides the clientss legs on a treadmill offering a wide range of training and strengthening possibilities

• Faster progress through longer and more intensive training sessions compared to manual treadmill training

• Physical strain on trainers/clinicans is relieved, single operator mode

• Clients walking activity is easily monitored and essed

• Improved motivation through visualized performance feedback

• Gait pattern and guidance force are individually adjustable to the clients needs

Locomotor gait training is widely used in Europe, but is not yet readily available in the United States. Nor is it for everyone: Scientists, physicians, therapists and clinicians are still learning the best way to train and which individuals can benefit the most. Clients of Neuroxcel get the benefit of using this state-of-the-art equipment while continuous research is ongoing to enhance its benefits
