overground gait training

Overground gait training involves practicing walking on actual surfaces, such as a normal floor or sidewalk, rather than on a treadmill or in a controlled environment. It aims to help individuals improve their walking ability, balance, coordination, and confidence in everyday settings. The training can be tailored to each person's needs and may include the use of assistive devices like braces or walkers. By walking overground, patients work on real-world skills, promoting a more natural and functional gait, which facilitates better independence in daily activities.
