Stroke Therapy using Locomotor Training at Helen Hayes Hospital Helen Hayes Hospital

Locomotor Training is a specialized physical therapy intervention using body-weight support over a treadmill to increase lower extremity weight bearing, improve trunk control and normalize a patient’s walking pattern using cueing from therapists.

Rosa participated in locomotor training to assist in making her walking pattern more fluid and normal. She also participated in balance activities over the treadmill, including obstacle negotiation. At the end of a locomotor training session, the patient will walk overground to encourage transfer of techniques/learning from the treadmill to normal life conditions
