Bungee Walker
The NeuroGym
®
Bungee Walker is a versatile body weight
support mechanism enabling safe, intensive motor retraining.
The unique patented design enables the re-training of gait
and natural protective reactions by counteracting loss of
stability as naturally as possible. Comparable to a pool
environment in terms of support, the Bungee Walker allows
graduated weight bearing while normal protective reactions
such as sidestepping are re-developed. The Bungee Walker
provides graduated support from underneath, rather than a
harness mechanism that provides the support from above.
Supporting the patient from above does not allow this
‘natural’ graduated support, particularly upon loss of balance.
The Bungee Walker enables more realistic safe practice of
gait, and most importantly, the protective reactions necessary to prevent falls.
Ankle Trainer
Strengthen paretic, sprained or post-surgical ankles by
isolating and training targeted muscle groups through a
complete range of motion. The NeuroGym
®
Ankle Trainer is a
lightweight, portable device with an axle and foot platform
that can be locked into place. This unique design permits
training in dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, inversion, eversion,
internal and external rotation—motions that are difficult to
isolate and specifically strengthen.
NeuroGym Trainer
The NeuroGym
®
Trainer II is a mobile, multi-faceted
biofeedback device designed to help clients regain motor
control and coordination. The NeuroGym Trainer II uses input
from various sensors to control the action of computer
games, for instance to move a paddle to intercept a ball or to
steer a car along a track.
