Therapy for children with Cerebral Palsy often involves various products and devices. One of the most effective may be the LiteGait®.
LiteGait® is a gait training device that simultaneously controls weight bearing, posture, and balance over a treadmill or over ground.
According to the company's website (www.litegait.com), it provides proper posture, reduces weight bearing, eliminates concerns for balance, and facilitates the training of coordinated lower extremity movement. It also allows the therapist to manually assist the legs and pelvis to achieve proper gait patterns. It can be used with a harness, or as the patient progresses, without one.
