Lokomat patient mobilization for gait rehabilitation

The use of the Lokomat is to support treadmill training for the therapy of patients with walking disabilities due to neurogenic, muscular or osseous causes.

Primary

• Improvement of gait function

Secondary

• Gear speed
• Gait endurance
• Spatio-temporal and biomechanical parameters such as stride length and symmetry, hip function and others.
• Balance
• Regulation of muscle tone, reduction of spasticity
• Muscle strength in the lower extremities
• Cardiovascular effects
• Body composition
• Quality of life

1. Powered orthosis (gait robot) with electric drives in the knee and hip joints with 4 force transducers and 4 amplifiers.
2. Orthosis is adjustable to patients with a femur length (trochanter to joint cavity of the knee) of 35-47 cm and a pelvis width (when used without FreeD module) of 29-51 cm.
3. Augmented performance feedback with functional exercises and fun games to motivate patients.
4. Assessment and reporting tools to log patient performance.
5. Optional pediatric orthoses adjustable for young children with a femur length (trochanter to joint cavity of the knee) of 21-35 cm and a pelvis width of 17-28 cm.
   Optional FreeD module for powered pelvic movements (pelvic width 29-40 cm), passively guided hip abduction/adduction and laterally synchronized body weight support.

• Speed range 0-10 km/h (with gait orthosis maximum 3.2 km/h)
• Height and width of the handrails separately adjustable
• Adjustable seat for the therapist
