FreeDome

Watch "FreeDome" in use, on LiteGait Videos and our Youtube page !

The FreeDome is an accessory that allows the patient/user to freely rotate in place beneath the yoke while remaining securely supported by the LiteGait® harness.

FreeDome can easily be attached or removed from all LiteGait models that currently utilize the FlexAble Yoke. Older LG models can be upgraded to use a FlexAble Yoke with FreeDome combination. The FreeDome can be locked in four positions (90-degree increments) allowing patient to walk sideways or backward on or off the treadmill, or simply walk with assistance when facing out of the LiteGait..

• Allows patient freedom of full 360° rotation
• Locks in 4 positions – each 90 degrees
• Expand Therapy options
• Same overhead straps & harness
• Same supportive fall-free environment
• Compatible with Flex and MX yokes
• Easy on – Easy off
• Locks securely to the yoke

The Freedome is a modification to (innovation for) the LiteGait yoke which I have been looking forward to for years. It works effortlessly (simply & easily) to change the patient’s position from walking forward, to sidestepping, or even walking backwards. I look forward to using it with many of my patients to challenge their weight-shifting and walking abilities. The freedome yoke would be number one on my list of recommended options to purchase for the LiteGait.

The ability to practice rapid changes in direction on a treadmill such as forward, backward, sidestepping and cross stepping with improved timing and safety are critical for retraining balance and gait capabilities for persons with Parkinson’s disease. The Freedom Yoke allows the therapist to safely utilize the treadmill to allow the person with PD to regain and keep their balance and gait and maintain independence It helps me be a better clinician for my patients.
