Description

Gait training is a specialized physiotherapy technique focused on improving a person’s ability to walk safely and efficiently. It is commonly used for patients recovering from neurological conditions (like stroke, spinal cord injury, or Parkinson’s disease), orthopedic injuries (like hip or knee replacement), or prolonged immobility. The goal is to restore normal walking patterns, enhance balance, increase strength, and prevent falls. Gait training involves exercises, assistive devices (such as walkers or canes), and practice on different surfaces to ensure functional mobility in real-life situations.

Key Points:

• Improves walking ability and balance.
• Helps in strengthening lower limb muscles.
• Reduces the risk of falls and injuries.
• Involves use of assistive devices if needed.
• Tailored for neurological, orthopedic, and post-surgery patients.
