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...

WOODWAY Treadmill (see separate prospectus / data sheet) Slat-Belt Technology The WOODWAY treadmill and its proven, unique slat-belt technology. Hitch- and slip-free acceleration of the treadmill starting from 0.0 km/hr. The treadmill cycle is absolutely homogeneous, smoothly controllable and can be started for the patient without any startling hitches or jerks. Display The treadmill's data display shows walking parameters such as speed, distance covered, elapsed time, inclination, pulse, and calories burned. An overview of the data is shown on a pivoting display. WOODWAY User System (WUS)...

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"...

Electromechanical Gait Therapy / "End Effector" Principle vs. Robot Guided Gait Therapy / Exoskeleton Principle The LokoHelp is an electromechanical gait trainer based on the "end effector" principle. In "end effector" gait training, mechanical support of the stand- and swinging-leg cycle is accomplished by using the feet as the last link of the kinematic chain. Movements in the hip and knee joints are actively controlled by the patient. The patient's hip and knee joints as well as ventral and dorsal thigh muscles are accessible from all sides during LokoHelp training. For this reason, if...

Electromechanical Gait Therapy / "End Effector" Principle vs. Robot Guided Gait Therapy / Exoskeleton Principle Through the quick and easy disassembly of the LokoHelp gait trainer, the treadmill can be used multifunctionally along with the body weight support system for a wide variety of treadmill applications. Possible training modes include speed, endurance, and cardiovascular training (with or without body weight support) as well as inclination of the treadmill surface for the training of climbing gait, thereby strengthening the leg muscles both concentrically as well as eccentrically....
