Gait Better
The Brand New Gait Better Program is at Premier
Gait Better is a virtual reality-like program designed to decrease the risk of falls as well as increase mobility in patients who use it. The program utilizes a treadmill with a harness accompanied with a screen and a sensor to capture movement in real-time.
Promising studies have been done to test the effectiveness of the program and has shown a 50% reduction in total falls! This percentage is also trending upward as more patients use it. Premier is only one of a few other clinics in the nation to have access to this innovative technology.
Who is it for?
Gait Better can be used by anyone with a difficulty walking or someone who is at risk of falling. Many of our therapists utilize this tool as part of the normal treatment session as a method of advancing their patients wellness. Patients are also welcome to come to Premier solely to use the Gait Better Program by itself without needing an appointment for physical therapy.
