buoyancy-assisted gait training

Buoyancy-assisted gait training uses a device, like an underwater treadmill or harness system, to support a person's body weight during walking practice. By reducing the effects of gravity, it allows individuals with mobility challenges to practice walking more safely and with less effort. This technique helps improve strength, balance, and coordination, and can accelerate recovery after injury or neurological conditions. The supportive environment encourages natural movement patterns, making it easier to regain confidence and function in walking.
