Basic Pre-Gait Therapy System
The OMEGO® Basic is a unique device for the rehabilitation of the relevant pre-gait
prerequisites: balance, locomotion, musculoskeletal integrity and neurocognitive
control.
Whether uni- or bilateral leg training with symmetry detection, leg press, stepper,
ergometry / cycling, vibration, sensor therapy or therapy of dorsiflexion: OMEGO® Basic
combines all functions in one device.
1.1.5 Intended purpose
The OMEGO® Basic is a robotic pre-gait therapy system for the rehabilitation of patients
with neurologic disorders. The target population includes neurologic, orthopedic,
geriatric and pediatric patients. The therapy and feedback system is used for the
rehabilitation of patients with dysfunctional conditions which are essential for gait.
Depending on national variances, typically physiotherapy utilizes the OMEGO® Basic
system as therapeutic support, enhancement and intensification in addition to
conventional therapy forms. Repetitive movement of the legs offers intrinsic and
extrinsic stimuli which promote brain reorganization. Repeated activity and training
triggers neuroplasticity and thus the alteration (adaptation) of synapses, nerve cells or
even entire cerebral areas for regaining lost functionality.
