Spinal Cord Injury: A Difficult, Predictable Past

Those who have lost the ability to walk are likely to hear the standard prognosis: "recovery is unlikely", "you'll spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair", "you probably won't walk again", and other disheartening predictions.

The most readily accessible rehabilitation environments provide tremendous support for people who have severely impaired locomotion or who are confined to wheelchairs. Scores of committed clinicians, doctors, and other therapists help patients to be as comfortable and mobile as possible with the excellent interventions that are currently available. By the same token, spinal cord injuries belonging to these same locomotion-challenged and/or wheelchair-bound patients may signal devastating lifestyle changes that most often last for the rest of their lives.

Decreased locomotion is always accompanied by secondary complications of muscular atrophy and, if severe enough, by tertiary complications of ever-increasing and/or permanent paralysis. Effective ambulation rehabilitation therapy is one of the few interventions that offer SCI patients any hope of regaining even partial locomotion.

TheraStride: A Brighter, Revolutionary Present

Welcome to the world of TheraStride: a state-of-the-art therapeutic tool designed to provide injured patients with new levels of natural support and mobility. Its innovative biomechanical structure and integrated feedback system are revolutionizing the locomotion rehabilitation industry.

A team of dedicated, innovative researchers, doctors, clinicians, and biomechanical design specialists designed the TheraStride Body Weight Support Trainer. Its construction provides highly configurable comfort for accelerated rehabilitation of SCI patients across a wide spectrum of ages, weights, and levels of physical challenge.

Rehabilitation: An Effective, Hopeful Future

The locomotion rehabilitation industry has restorative options that increase in both number and therapeutic effectiveness every day. SCI patients are continuously introduced to new ways of improving their ability to move-and even walk-with weight-bearing gaits.

Yes, it's true that positive therapeutic results cannot ever be guaranteed in the arenas of spinal injury and/or neurological damage. It is, however, also true that the TheraStride Body Weight Support Trainer is consistently delivering on its ability to augment, and accelerate, the weight-bearing progress of SCI patients and other locomotion-challenged individuals. TheraStride's usage track record proves that it provides an ergonomic, efficient, effective rehabilitative environment.

What is less obvious, but equally important to the SCI community-at-large, is that TheraStride also provides new rehabilitation hope. It produces results that were, previously considered to be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to achieve.

It's easy to find out more about how TheraStride can make significant, positive, healing differences in quality of life for you or someone you love. Just ask your physician and/or therapist about this revolutionary locomotion training system. You can even download a TheraStride brochure to share. Doing so just might change your life, or the life of a loved one, for the better.
