WOODWAY LokoStation For more than 20 years, treadmill therapy has established itself as a successful, evidence-based therapeutic means for gait recovery and rehabilitation after stroke, after spinal and head injuries, and after infant cerebral palsy. Studies show that treadmill therapy with body weight support is superior to conventional walking, since the number of repetitions of standing- and swinging-leg cycles is generally greater. This means that in the long term, clear improvement of walking ability is to be expected.

WOODWAY LokoStation Continuously Variable Patient Body Weight Support With the LokoStation, partial body weight support of the patient is made possible. It allows for weight support to be controlled in a continuously variable manner by means of the therapist using a crank (minimal exertion necessary!) and can be readjusted at any time. 2-Point Suspension The LokoStation's 2-point suspension ensures optimal rotational stability for the patient. Asymmetrical support is possible through direct adjustment of cable length. Fixing of the patient's center of mass is possible using elastic bands on...

LokoHelp® Gait Trainer The LokoHelp Gait Trainer was developed to relieve therapists of the labour-intensive task of guiding the patient's legs during locomotion therapy and to provide more efficient treadmill therapy for severely affected patients. It not only provides physical relief to the therapist, but also improves gait symmetry and the quality of therapy for the patient. Since therapy can only be carried out by a therapist, it greatly reduces the personal exertion required to work with severely affected patients. LokoHelp is patented worldwide and is based on the "end effector"...
