“We have found that GaitBetter is useful with almost all our clients. This includes our patients who have suffered a traumatic brain injury, post-stroke, joint replacement, post brain tumor, and of course Parkinson. What is even better is that everyone, including both clinicians and clients, love the technology. It has been a great therapeutic tool and we are looking forward to introducing it as a wellness offering to our community.”
