Follow “Connect the Harness to your LiteGait® and Lift Patient” steps as noted in previous section. LiteGait® can be
used over ground to perform gait training as well as to provide support for a variety of other activities such as balance
training, therapeutic exercise, postural support for ADL, etc. Please refer to your booklet “Protocols for Partial Weight
Bearing Gait and Balance Therapy” for more information, or email our clinical support department at
clinicalsupport@litegait.com.
Stepping up onto Treadmill (Continued)
7. To exit the unit, reverse the process. Keep directional casters locked until the LiteGait® is at the end of the
treadmill. It is helpful to ensure that the locking casters are nudged into an outward rolling position so they
do not get caught on the treadmill as they roll.
8. Keep in mind that some patients will need to sit directly into a chair at the end of their session even if they
started the session in standing.
