Partial Weight Bearing (PWB) Gait Training makes use of a suspension system to provide proper upright posture as well as balance and safety during treadmill walking. This method of training improves gait patterns, posture, balance, muscle strength and overall endurance levels. The patient is kept in a comfortable, fall free environment, enabling both the patient and the therapist to concentrate on the therapy session.
