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."
