    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

    Advantages of Lokomat Therapy

    Effective Gait Training

    Robot-assisted therapy enables effective and intensive training and ensures the optimal exploitation of neuroplasticity and recovery potential.

    According to Mehrholz et al. 2017*, every seventh dependency in walking could be avoidable if robot-assisted devices were used. With the Lokomat you can also train patients with severe disabilities, who have been shown to benefit the most from Lokomat training.

    * These conclusions and recommendations in Mehrholz et al.(2017) do not constitute an endorsement of this or any healthcare product or intervention.

    Most Physiological Gait

    The physiological gait pattern is ensured by the individually adjustable exoskeleton combined with the patented dynamic body weight support system.

    The Lokomat provides a natural plantar pressure distribution, sensory feedback and physiological vertical displacement during the complete gait cycle.

    The hip and knee joint angles can also be individually adjusted during training to tailor to specific needs of patients.

    Learn More >

    Optimal Patient Challenge

    During rehabilitation, patients need to be challenged at and beyond their individual capabilities. Speed, loading and robotic support can be adjusted to optimally shape the intensity of the therapy.

    Patients are motivated to reach their goals with various game-like exercises. Their level of activity influences the performance of the task, the gait pattern and the speed.

    This Augmented Performance Feedback (APF) maximizes the effect of Lokomat gait training. Studies have shown when using APF, muscle activation and cardiovascular exertion can be considerably increased.

    Increased Efficiency

    The Lokomat allows therapists to focus on the patient and the actual therapy. It enhances staff efficiency and safety, leading to higher training intensity, more treatments per therapist and consistent, superior patient care.

    State-of-the-Art Gait Rehabilitation

    Patients are increasingly more informed about what the most effective and efficient therapy is, and they use this information to decide where to go for their rehabilitation.

    All patients look to receive the most effective training possible and the Lokomat ensures high quality and repetitive gait rehabilitation—a great reason why a patient might decide on your clinic.

    Success Stories

    I Finaly Feel Like I Can Trust My Body Again
    I Felt That it was Doing Something Good
    “I couldn’t explain it, but I felt that it was doing something good,” he says. “I fell in love with the Lokomat that day!” After 16 therapy sessions, Phillip’s force measured by the LokomatPro sensors had improved greatly and he decided to move closer to the hospital in order to be able to continue the therapy with the Lokomat.
    Phillip Bryant
    Patient
    Giving up was not an Option
    Gabriele was an active person and only 44 years old when she had a stroke which led to hemiparesis of her left side. "I led a very active life; I always had many goals and worked hard to achieve them. It took me a lot to get used to the new situation," explains Gabriele. But 12 years after the stroke, not much had changed and walking still required a lot of effort. Then, a friend told her about the Lokomat. "I find the training with the Lokomat very helpful, as I can work on my balance and I feel safer while walking," she says happily. "I can already walk much faster and roll my foot through the step." The progress she has made after two months of therapy has fueled her motivation. "It’s fantastic what I achieved with this training so far, even all these years after the stroke! I wish all stroke patients could have access to this therapy."
    Gabriele Lilienkamp
    Patient
    Step by Step Towards Long-Term Goals
    Training with the LokomatPro is good because I have to be active and because it challenges me. There are new situations over and over again where I have to react differently. Training with the Lokomat is diverse and exciting because I can control the directions myself with the amount of strength I put in. And with the FreeD I have even more freedom of movement."
    H. B.
    Patient
    Towards an Independent Daily Routine through Play
    M. S. was only 16 when he had a stroke in the left side of his brain resulting in a right-sided hemiparesis with a sensitivity disorder. After training with the LokomatPro with FreeD four times a week for a mere three weeks, he has already been able to improve the stability in his right knee. "I can stand on my own again and I feel much safer in my daily routine," he explains. "I like the games best! The training is much more fun."
    M. S.
    Patient
    One Hundred Miles for the Best Therapy
    "Carson came to us with strength and gait impairments," explains his therapist Jenny Schmit. Using a walker, Carson's legs criss-crossed and he was able to walk only very slowly. "He jumped into the Lokomat and had so much fun during the therapy," explains his mother, Carla. With games and fun exercises, the staff at Cincinnati Children's Hospital offers intensive and motivating therapy, and very soon, Carson started showing great improvements. "He was just flying! His mobility was better and he was so much more self-confident," says Carla happily. "I was just delighted at his improvement. Driving 100 miles is nothing when you want to get the best care for your child."

    Effectiveness of Lokomat
    Training Proven

    More than 280 studies have been published
    on Lokomat therapy in peer-reviewed journals:

    1. Effective Gait Training

    “Lokomat assisted therapy in combination with conventional therapy is more effective than physiotherapy alone.”
    (
    Dundar et al. 2014)

    1. Optimal Patient Challenge

    “Functional feedback is highly important for the active participation of patients during robotic-assisted rehabilitation.”
    (Zimmerli et al. 2013)

    1. 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)

    Further Clinical Evidence and Reports

    All our solutions have been thoroughly tested and researched. Numerous studies have proven them to be effective. On our Knowledge Platform we provide an overview of all studies.

    What Experts Say

    Today, the first patient in the entire country tried the Lokomat® FreeD Pediatric. The young man worked incredibly hard, walked for 35 minutes, and loved every second of it. Seeing him strengthen his muscles while simultaneously having a blast with the games was amazing. At the end of the session, he asked me when he could come back and train again. What more can a PT ask for?
    Harri Creighton-Griffith
    Physical Therapy Supervisor, Department of Allied Health Sidra Medicine - Qatar Foundation, Doha, Qatar
    Achieve Best Possible Results With the Lokomat
    "The Lokomat allows us to provide our patients with more intensive gait therapy. They experience more repetitions and are motivated by the Augmented Performance Feedback to actively contribute with maximum effort to their therapy. We are reminded daily how this intensity translates into an increase in functional mobility. The Lokomat technology allows us to provide patients with the opportunity for best possible outcomes."
    Dale B. Hull, MD, Jan Black, MS, PT
    Dale B. Hull, MD, MPA, Executive Director, Jan Black, MS, PT, Neuroworx, USA
    Significant Progress is Being Made
    "Our data show that significant improvement in clinically meaningful effect size can be achieved with gross motor abilities using robot-enhanced treadmill therapy in children also beyond natural motor development."
    Prof. Dr. med. Florian Heinen
    Medical Director, Director, Pediatrician, Neurologist, Specialist Neuropediatrics, University Hospital Munich, Germany

    Improve Efficiency & Patient Outcomes with the Lokomat

    “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.”
