Partial body weight supported treadmill training for gait recovery following stroke.
PBWSTT has emerged from an interesting idea to a well-accepted and scientifically supported treatment modality for gait training after stroke. PBWSTT offers a task-specific approach to functional gait retraining that is based on rehearsal of repetitive controlled gait cycles. Newer devices are being developed that will provide better mechanical control of the patient and reduce therapist effort.
