Bring patients up to speed with the right step length. More than just a treadmill,
it is the most important improvement to gait training since the parallel bars.

Heart rate monitoring
Chest strap telemetry and contact handgrip to ensure proper training intensity
Instrumented deck
The Biodex Gait Trainer is the only treadmill with an instrumented deck that monitors
and records step speed, step length and right-to-left time distribution (step symmetry).
Audio-visual biofeedback
Patients are motivated by the real time audio and visual biofeedback. They are prompted
into proper gait patterns; step length, step speed and step symmetry. Biofeedback
helps patients stay ‘on target’ in each phase of rehabilitation; steps lengthen,
step speed increases and symmetry improves.
Objective documentation
Exercise summary reports track progress and document outcomes. The Biodex Gait Trainer
compares step speed, step length and step symmetry to age and gender-based normative
data.
