Limitations of Conventional Gait Therapy
Balance & Gait Training
- Lack of task specificity for everyday life
- Lack of objective and sensitive gait assessments
- Limited feedback for the patient
- Limited training duration and intensity
- Monotonous, boring exercises
The Motek’s C-Mill is a complete, advanced evaluation and training treadmill, simulating everyday life challenges through augmented and virtual reality in a safe and comfortable environment.
Scientific Evidence
More than 20 studies have been conducted on the C-Mill and its different versions:
- Effective Functional Gait Therapy
“Improved obstacle avoidance success rates and reduced associated attentional demands after C-Mill training in chronic stroke patients. ”
(van Ooijen et al. 2014a)
- Incorporates Motor Learning Principles
“VR- and AR-based therapy with the C-Mill could help to incorporate motor learning principles like external focus of attention, implicit learning, variable practice, training intensity, task specificity, and feedback on performance into clinical practice.”
(Papegaaij et al. 2017)
- Objective In-Depth Assessment
“Gait adaptability can be validly assessed by use of the C-Mill with obstacle avoidance and step target tasks.”
(Houdijk et al. 2012)
- Fun and Motivating
“Patients perceived C-Mill training as useful, motivating, fun, challenging, and enjoyable.”
(Van Ooijen et al. 2014b)
Further Clinical Evidence and Reports
The C-Mill has been thoroughly tested and researched. Numerous studies have proven it to be effective. Motek provides an overview of publications in the literature section of its website.
