As a gait training device, LiteGait® simultaneously controls the posture, balance, and weight bearing of a patient over ground or over a treadmill. In achieving the proper gait posture, a portion of the patient's weight is transferred from the legs to the groin and lower stomach area. This is made possible by placing patients within a suspension mechanism, enabling them to walk in an upright position while maximizing their comfort. Because of the support on the patient's weight, a Sauk City physical therapist is able to train the gait in fall-free conditions and establish a constant rhythm of movement using the treadmill. Likewise, the therapist is free to facilitate tension on the patient's hip flexor. During this process, the patient will gradually avoid excessive rotation and differentiate between the control of the right and left side.
