Over Ground Therapy
Follow “Connect the Harness to your LiteGait® and Lift Patient” steps as noted in previous section. LiteGait® can be used over
ground to perform gait training as well as to provide support for a variety of other activities such as balance training, therapeutic
exercise, postural support for ADL, etc. Please refer to your booklet “Protocols for Partial Weight Bearing Gait and Balance
Therapy” for more information, or email our clinical support department at clinicalsupport@litegait.com.
Stepping up onto Treadmill (Continued)
7. To exit the unit, reverse the process. Keep directional casters locked until the LiteGait® is at the end of the treadmill.
It is helpful to ensure that the locking casters are nudged into an outward rolling position so they do not get caught
on the treadmill as they roll.
8. Keep in mind that some patients will need to sit directly into a chair at the end of their session even if they started
the session in standing.
