🔹 What is LiteGait?

Supported Gait Training for Better Outcomes

LiteGait is a body-weight-supported gait training system that suspends the patient in a harness over a treadmill or ground surface. It enables upright movement without the fear of falling, allowing patients to safely practice walking earlier in their rehab process. This approach:

  • Promotes proper gait patterns

  • Improves balance and coordination

  • Reduces therapist load during manual support

  • Builds confidence through supported mobility

  • Enhances neuroplasticity in retraining movement

LiteGait is especially effective for clients with complex mobility issues or those recovering from neurological events.

FAQs

How does LiteGait support recovery?
LiteGait provides partial body-weight support while allowing patients to practise walking. This creates a safe environment for early mobility, helping improve balance, gait, and motor learning.for a set number of sessions, with the possibility of additional treatments covered upon approval.
Is LiteGait suitable for all patients?
LiteGait is most effective for clients with neurological or severe mobility impairments. Suitability is assessed during your first consultation based on your condition and goals.
What is neurological physiotherapy?
Neurological physiotherapy is a specialised branch of physio focused on helping people with conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system. It supports mobility, strength, and function through targeted rehabilitation.
Do I need a referral to begin?
A referral is not required for private appointments. However, you may need one if you are accessing services through Medicare or third-party funding schemes.
Can LiteGait therapy be included in my NDIS plan?
Yes. If your NDIS plan includes physiotherapy or functional capacity building goals, LiteGait sessions may be funded as part of your treatment.
How is neurological physiotherapy different from regular physiotherapy?
Neurological physiotherapy is specialised for conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It focuses on retraining the nervous system through movement-based therapy, balance training, and postural correction — often using equipment like the LiteGait treadmill for safe gait re-education.
What should I wear to a neurological physio appointment?
We recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and closed shoes with good grip. This allows full movement during therapy and ensures safety while using equipment like parallel bars, LiteGait systems, or gym gear.
