An overhead harness and trolly system for balance and ambulation assessment and training.

Abstract:

:Safe assessment of standing balance and gait is often jeopardized by the potential for falls, which may have major physical and legal consequences. This article describes the design and use of a system that enhances the safety of the patient and clinician during balance and gait assessment and training. The system consists of an overhead track and moveable trolly that allows the patient, while secured in a simple body harness, the freedom to ambulate, perform functional types of activities, and fall with minimal risk of injury. As a result, a single therapist can more readily assess balance and ambulation, as well as provide training for these skills. In addition, the therapist is free to observe the patient's movements from any position, without direct physical contact. Practically, the system described may allow ambulation training sooner after injury or surgery, permit training in weight-bearing or partial weight-bearing activities with or without assistive devices, and allow the clinician to focus on assessment and training, rather than on patient safety.
