The Powerstep System
The PowerStep – Body Weight Support Treadmill (BWST) System for Locomotor Training and Gait Therapy. Locomotor training is an activity-based therapy that uses task-specific retraining to take advantage of the spinal cord’s capacity to relearn to stand and step after neurologic injury.
The PowerStep combines its closed-loop force feedback system with manually assisted stepping and standing to provide the optimal environment for recovery of standing and walking.
