Why GaitBetter?

Better Therapy Outcomes

Using GaitBetter’s VR walking platform, our innovative motor-cognitive approach to gait rehabilitation and fall prevention has been proven to outperform motor training alone. By adding a virtual reality experience to treadmill training, the system allows patients to practice real-life situations such as walking in a park or busy city streets while in the safety of the clinic.

Multi-tasking workouts, combining decision making, memory tasks, and attention exercises, significantly improve dynamic balance, endurance, gait strategies, and cognitive functions. These, along with other product features, lead to fast and sustainable improvements in gait and cognitive skills, increased self-confidence, and reduced risk of falls.

A New Approach

Traditional gait therapy has many limitations specifically around difficulty of use and the time demands placed on therapists.

With GaitBetter’s VR walking platform, set-up time is quick and easy while all the patient simply has to wear is a personalized vest. No additional therapists are needed, and one physical therapy assistant can easily administer up to four stations simultaneously.

GaitBetter helps your patients improve mobility and reduce fall risk while helping providers maintain profitability.

The Personalized Solution

Gait disorders stem from a wide range of conditions. Stroke, Parkinson’s, MS, Post surgeries, Joint replacement (hip replacement and knee replacement), Vestibular, and many other indications affect walking in different ways. For each patient, a personalized approach is needed.

GaitBetter’s VR walking platform enables therapists to fully personalize the training for the specific individual needs and capabilities. Select the type, size, side and frequency of obstacles, decide the cognitive level load, reaction time, and walking environment, all and from the intuitive touchscreen dashboard. Therapists can also use the GaitBetter ‘Auto-Pilot’ mode to deliver the right training for each patient.

Delivering Safe Training

Patients’ safety is our top priority. We ask patients to use harnesses during training. Clinics can use their existing harness systems or GaitBetter’s custom designed safety solution which is specifically designed for comfortable gait on the VR walking platform. The suspension (bridge) can be easily adjusted to fit different treadmills width and can support up to 250kg (~500 lb.).

GaitBetter’s VR walking platform works with your existing equipment. No need for new treadmills or large and dedicated space. No need for special certifications or lengthy training to operate the system. Simply use your existing equipment, your treadmill, your TV, your harness with our VR technology. And if you’re missing anything, we can provide whatever your need to get started. This allows us to offer an advanced gait therapy solution to any provider at an affordable price with flexible options.
