More Information

The AutoStep Gait Training Accessory for LiteGait Devices is a simple device that vastly improves gait training exercises for therapists and patients alike. Comprised of a sturdy steel base, elastic tension bands, and adjustable foot and ankle straps, the AutoStep provides a physical cue to patients when in a terminal stance to facilitate forward swing. The pull and release of elastic promotes increased step length and aids in training higher foot clearance when walking. Equal tension from the two bands also encourages symmetrical steps and recorrects overcompensation when stepping.

The AutoStep Gait Training Accessory for LiteGait Devices also gives therapists the freedom to focus on other aspects of gait training, such as hip extension or stability, knowing that patients are secure and receiving physical cues from the bands. Two levels of tension bands can accommodate a wide range of patient muscle tones and are easily interchangeable without removing the entire device. The AutoStep provides foot clearance and symmetric steps and also eases gait training for both children and adults. Its elastic bands stretch as the stance leg moves back and retract to help bring the other leg forward, promoting longer steps and better leg movement. Additionally, it helps improve lower limb coordination and provides a dynamic stretch for increased flexibility.

The AutoStep Gait Training Accessory for LiteGait Devices is designed to be compatible with most older LiteGait devices, replacing older AutoStep models and ushering in improved therapy without the cost of an entirely new machine. It comes pre-installed on newer LiteGait models, for convenience when upgrading! The AutoStep Accessory can be used for both overground and treadmill training exercises, making it an all-in-one option no matter the facility.
