Health and Medical
For many years, studies have shown that physical activity has a direct impact on the state of your health, but physical activity can be restricted by medical conditions that limit mobility. The G-Trainer allows individuals to improve overall health, benefit from exercise regardless of many conditions that limit mobility and weight-bearing activities, and rehabilitate more effectively, with less pain after lower extremity injury or surgery.
The G-Trainer is comfortable and easy to use. It allows individuals to concentrate on natural body movement without the restrictions of a harness or resistance experienced in a pool.
"The G-Trainer is a fine tool to work on ambulation endurance and gait re-training for patients with head injury, lower extremity joint replacement, arthroscopic knee surgeries, and higher level CVA. The device is used for transitioning patients from ambulatory assistive devices to a lesser device or independent walking. Patients enjoy the un-weighting sensation provided by the device. The G-trainer is a useful addition to traditional gait training methods. "

"A below the knee amputee in his second week of learning how to walk with his prosthetic was able to get into the G-Trainer on his own without any difficulty. His body language and facial expressions said it all. He had found a way to teach himself to walk without pain, without the fear of falling, and without being dependent on someone else to hold him up. The transition from walking to running and jogging is a difficult process for amputees and can result in a lot of falling –not with the G-Trainer. The G-Trainer holds patients in place, allowing for a quicker recovery. The usefulness for the G-Trainer as training tool for this transition appears to be obvious."
