Limitations of Conventional Gait Therapy
Manual Treadmill Training
- Therapists are exposed to physical strain
- More than one therapist is required
- Limited training duration and intensity
- Limited feedback for patient
- Gait pattern is neither reproducible nor physiological
The Lokomat is the world‘s leading robotic medical device that provides highly repetitive and the most physiological gait training – especially to severely impaired patients.
Effectiveness of Lokomat
Training Proven
More than 280 studies have been published
on Lokomat therapy in peer-reviewed journals:
- Effective Gait Training
“Lokomat assisted therapy in combination with conventional therapy is more effective than physiotherapy alone.”
(Dundar et al. 2014)
- Optimal Patient Challenge
“Functional feedback is highly important for the active participation of patients during robotic-assisted rehabilitation.”
(Zimmerli et al. 2013)
- State-of-the-Art Gait Rehabilitation
“Every seventh dependency in walking after stroke could be avoidable if electromechanically assisted devices were used.”
(Mehrholz et al. 2017)

Improve Efficiency & Outcomes
Fewer Resources Needed
More Therapy Sessions per Week
More Patients Treated
Increased Therapy Intensity
“Unlike gait training without the assistance of robotics, the Lokomat allows the operating clinician to observe the patient’s motion sequence more easily and from another perspective and to intervene, whenever necessary. Gait training becomes less personnel intensive and less burdening for the clinicians.”
