Stool (steering) (steering) Figure 1. The Biodex Offset Unweighing System adjustment mechanisms. PARTIAL WEIGHT BEARING GAIT THERAPY AND BALANCE TRAINING The loss of the ability to ambulate can be one of the most debilitating aspects of many neurolog- ical and musculoskeletal disorders. Any of the three main components of locomotion - posture, balance and coordination - can be affected by a variety of neurologic or musculoskeletal pathologies resulting in the disruption of an individual’s ability to walk normally. - Page 5 Partial Weight Bearing Gait Therapy makes use of a patient suspension system, such as the Biodex Offset Unweighing System, to reduce the amount of weight born by a patient and pro- vide proper upright posture. The suspension system is used to remove a pre-determined portion of the weight load from the patient’s legs and redistribute it to the patient’s trunk and upper...

Page 6: Benefits Of Dynamic Unweighing Therapy
Vertical traction is accomplished to provide patient relief. This same approach can be taken with other orthopedic injuries. By using the Biodex Unweighing System you can be assured that your patient is working in a dynamic environment unloaded to physician specifica- tions. - Page 7 Oscillation of Center of Gravity (COG) - Normal oscillation for the center of gravity during gait is approximately 2" (5cm). This is easily achieved with the dynamic suspension of the Biodex Unweighing System. By allowing oscillation, the patient is able to maintain a smooth gait pat- tern (Hoppenfeld).
