The Lokomat is an awesome machine
at Shepherd Center’s Beyond Therapy. It is one of four similar machines. It
enables you to walk with zero gravity, suspended by straps on a treadmill.
The Lokomat is for both Brain and
Spinal Cord injury patients. Through correct sequencing and repetition, your
brain starts to recognize the pattern.
My brain recognized the pattern when
I first got off. Then it slowly forgot .
My guess is that again I did not do the locomat enough. I only did it like once
a week I was also too far out from the initial time that the accident took
place. I was about 3 years out and the majority of the progress takes place in
about a year.
The Lockomat works great for many
people. You feel exactly like your walking on a treadmill even if you have no mobility
in your legs. It’s a great way to get some cardio while strengthening.
