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.

Description
Unique gait trainer
LokoHelp is patented worldwide and is based on the “end effector” principle (this means that support is provided to the feet and the patient actively controls the knee and hip joints). Locomotion therapy using the LokoHelp not only saves the therapist from great physical stresses, but also reduces the personal effort required. With the LokoHelp, climbing is possible using the treadmill, facilitating the hip extension and dorsal muscle strength necessary for successful locomotion therapy (depends on the availability of this function on the treadmill).
Active knee and hip extension, active impact on the foot sole and postural control are possible and improve treatment results. The synchronised speed of the treadmill and LokoHelp is protected at all times within the servo drive using a master & slave circuit. With this design, LokoHelp enables consistent and symmetric leg guidance.
LokoHelp can be easily removed from the treadmill, thus allowing multifunctional use of the treadmill with body weight support.
