Step Training

The goal of step training is to retrain individuals to step by taking advantage of the intrinsic mechanisms of the nervous system that generate neuromuscular activity. Step training uses a body weight support and treadmill system (BWST) in combination with manual assistance to implement the locomotor training principles. The primary re-training occurs in this component as the nervous system relearns motor patterns associated with walking. Step training using BWST and manual assistance is also used to address limitations to independent walking including gait deviations.
