Evidence-Based Approach
The Gait Training Program at Asara Physical Therapy and Balance Clinic is designed to optimize mobility, enhance functional independence, and improve the quality of life for individuals with gait impairments due to neurological, vestibular, or musculoskeletal conditions. Our evidence-based approach incorporates advanced technology and targeted interventions tailored to each patient’s needs.
Gait Training Program
Key Components of the Program
Objective Gait Analysis
- Utilizes motion sensors for detailed spatial-temporal analysis and kinetic measurements.
- Assesses joint angles at the knee and ankle, stride length, cadence, and symmetry.
- Enables precise identification of gait deficits to develop individualized treatment plans.
Personalized Gait Rehabilitation
- Our team formulates a customized therapy plan based on gait analysis findings to address specific deficits.
- Emphasizes improving biomechanics, motor control, and functional mobility.
Early Overground Body Weight Support Training
- Incorporates a body weight support system to promote safe, progressive ambulation.
- The program enables early gait training for patients with limited weight-bearing capacity or high fall risk.
Treadmill Training with Visual & Auditory Cues
- Encourages consistent cadence, stride length, and gait symmetry.
- Combines sensory cues to improve rhythm and coordination.
Dynamic Gait Training
- Includes tasks requiring quick changes in direction and varying walking speeds.
- Enhances agility and adaptability during functional activities.
- It focuses on navigating real-world challenges such as stepping over obstacles and changing surfaces.
- Speed and agility training.
- Cognitive gait training- Includes divided attention tasks to enhance dual-tasking skills and promote greater functional independence.
- Builds confidence and reduces fall risk during ambulation.
Program Goals
- Restore optimal walking mechanics and improve overall mobility.
- Increase strength, endurance, and agility for daily activities.
- Enhance safety and confidence during ambulation
- Reduce the risk of falls and associated injuries.
This comprehensive program leverages advanced technology and innovative therapies to deliver measurable outcomes and improved patient satisfaction.
