ZeroG Gait and Balance System featured in the National News

The Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Injuries Unit in Glasgow has been featured in the news this week with the Zero G Gait and Balance system.


The story features Mr Louden who suffered a broken neck and back, alongside multiple serious leg injuries, in August 2020.


Prior to using ZeroG Gait and Balance System, Mr Louden said he felt that he

 "put so much work in and didn't see any return, and I could feel my hope just draining away".

In September last year, Mr Louden started using ZeroG which supports him during therapy and automatically synchronises with his movements to help him walk and prevent falls.

"It's transformed my life and how I feel," Mr Louden said. "I've gone from hardly being able to move to being able to walk 20 metres non-stop on the bars."

"My record on the ZeroG system is 57 metres."

About ZeroG

The ZeroG® Gait and Balance System protects patients from falls while providing dynamic body-weight support as patients practice walking, balance tasks, sit-to-stand and even stairs. ZeroG is mounted to an overhead track which means there are no barriers between the patient and therapist. With ZeroG, patients can begin rehabilitation in a safe, controlled environment.

Tecnobody solutions in NeurotherapyWorx

By Giuliana Kinnerly • January 6, 2025
We are so pleased to see our Tecnobody Solution at the neuro-rehab outpatient centre in Neurotherapy Worx. The centre, based near Wigan, started using the D-Wall at the beginning of the year and went on to include the Prokin 252, WalkerView, and Data Server devices. Clinic owner, Sarah Wilkinson's experience with the advanced motion tracking, analysis, and therapy programs of the D-Wall has led her to adopt additional solutions, such as the Prokin 252 for balance and proprioception, and the Walker View for gait assessment and training. This strategy is designed to motivate patients and supply valuable data to the physiotherapy team, potentially reducing recovery time.
