Walk More Normally Again State-of-the-Art Gait Training Device

Thousands of illnesses all over the world cause different problems to the patients and the professionals who try to find out the solution from the obstacles makes lots of researches, experiments, and now it is the turn of those who have some problems with walking. These are millions of people only in the US. So what do they use for walk better, these are canes and walkers that besides helping the patient disappoints at the same time.

According to the MediGait.com a high-tech yet easy-to-use gait-training device is brought to these people for more normal walking—and living.

GaitAid works two ways to achieve often-remarkable results, and these are:

1. GaitAid users commonly find themselves walking normally from their first step. But the immediate results are just the start of GaitAid’s effects.

2. Over time, the device “rewires” the wearer’s brain to follow a healthier walking pattern—an effect that frequently continues even when it isn’t being worn. This process (called neuroplasticity) essentially creates new, healthy nerve circuits that bypass the disease-damaged areas associated with walking.

Who could potentially be helped by the device?

500,000 with Parkinson’s Disease,
Up to 350,000 with Multiple Sclerosis,
An estimated 800,000 with Cerebral Palsy,
6,500,000 Stroke survivors, and
The elderly, of whom 30% fall at least once per year—50% of those over 80.
