LiteGait Training Feedback

We utilized two different trainers who both brought different experience and personalities to their respective training sessions. Both obviously believed in the product they were representing. We've had our Lite Gait for some time now, but had focused more on gait training. Christin was able to add to our knowledge and use of the Lite Gait and help us to see it's ability to be used in areas other than upright weightbearing/gait. She offered us ideas that we were able to springboard off of.

-Louisiana Special Education Center

Great training. It's only 10:30 AM the day after our training, and we've had 4 patients on it already today! Nechama had great, creative ideas which were really fun. She did a great job of answering questions. We knew from the moment our training ended that we would use our LiteGait daily and so far we've been right. It's such a versatile piece of equipment with so many options for creative treatment!

-Sister Kenny Rehabilitation-Mercy Hospital, Coon Rapids, MN

Jen was able to make some suggestions for additional equipment that might help us here at WCHOB. We are primarily a "mature" group, and we are all thrilled with our LiteGait. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks!

-Buffalo NY

The information provided was relevent to our population. We were able to see facilitation of gait and balance on a variety of patients with differing presentations of their level of impairment. It has been said by staff that "This training will produce lasting effects for our students".

-Walton Special Center, Stockton CA

Nechama was very versed in the LiteGait and its use. Excellent training. I liked the fact that she was a PT and not just a rep and worked with the patient. I wasn't a believer at first but after 3 days of using it at least 2x daily - I LOVE IT!!!! and so do my patients. Even my 90 yo pt thought it was wonderful and I see results immediately. I put a Parkinson's pt. with dementia who had not walked in a year on it yesterday and she took off with the biggest smile on her face - and her family's, too! She said, "Lord! I'm just like a walking rag doll!" Thanks for a great piece of equipment. I'd love to have another one as I don't want to share it with the other therapists because I have been using it so much. But I do share even though I still wish I had my own!

-CMC Lincolnton Outpatient, Lincolnton NC

I thought it amazing that a patient who previously had only been able to walk 40 feet was able to walk over 500 feet. He was thrilled.

-Presbyterian Kaseman Hospital, Albuquerque, NM

Nechama is a very engaging and informed presenter. Feed back from my staff and the patients who were involved in the demonstration was very positve. It was a very enjoyable afternoon and very helpful to every therapist who attended. Looks like the population who would benefit from the Lite Gait is extensive!

-Fellowship Village, Basking Ridge, NJ

Even with previous training and experience using the LiteGait, hearing, watching, and practicing the different uses of the LiteGait you always learn more applications for it's use.

-Valley West Health Center, Eugene, OR

The training session created a lot of excitement within our facility about the use and benefit of this device. We are looking at ways to incorporate the LiteGait into our both transitional and long term care rehabilitation programs.

- Jewish Home of Rochester, NY

All I can say that we had a great experience with the equipment. Imagine a person who has not walked for 2 years and now he walked alone with the assistant of the LiteGait. It was priceless, incredible and very heartwarming to all of us, specially to his wife who cried and was in shock looking at him

- Adapted PE Instructor, Wilmington, CA

We found new ways to use our LiteGait, and the patients that we have been using the Lite Gait with are really appreciating the benefits!

- HCR-ManorCare of Dubuque, IA

We thought that we were using the system to the best of our abilities until we received the training. Now, the variety of patients and treatment approached has increased significantly. Thank you for all the valuable information and research.

- St. Luke's Rehab Hospital, Chesterfield, OH

We thoroughly enjoyed having the training. It was helpful to see a patient experience it and apply the tool with the trainer present. Geoff is very knowledgeable and seems to really enjoy his work. We feel more comfortable using the lite gait now and look forward to many rewarding outcomes.

- Manor Care Rehab DOR, Venice, FL

We have used both the WalkAble and LiteGait for a wide variety of patients but had new staff that benefitted from the training. Overall, we felt the training was beneficial and the suggestions for harness comfort were great. Jamie was very flexible, knowledgeable, and great to work with.

- TSRHC, Dallas, TX

Our trainer did an excellent job and was very accomodating with our busy schedules and needing to have staff go in and out of the training to cover patients. Staff are using the device daily and we are seeing good results.

- PT, Jackson, MS

Thank you guys for a great training. I had no idea how many possibilities this device has and what a large variety of our patients we could use with it. Dr Seif is awsome! He is extremely knowledgable but yet presents the information in easy to understand vocabularly. This is greatly appreciated.

- C. Houseman, PT, Director Restorative Services, Providence Health Center, Waco, TX

The training was excellent, it was really super. We will all be enjoying the LiteGait now, whereas before I was the only one using it, because nobody else knew how. I had LiteGait training 10 years ago but I felt very limited at first in who I could treat—just neuro, like a stroke or spinal cord injury. Now I understand that we can use LiteGait with any patient, weakess, poor posture, gait disturbance, etc. Now our eyes are open; everybody is using because we see the benefit for so many patients.

- W. Chalhub, PT, Naples, FL

Meredith was extremely knowledgable and friendly. I was throroughly impressed with her presentation. She showed us many new functional techniques and applications to improve our understanding of PBWS training using the Lite Gait.

- Martin J. Kilbane, PT, OCS, Supervisor SCI PT Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center

Since our inservice, we have been able to increase our fim score with Re to gait in spinal cord & orthopedic patients.

CEU Seminar Feedback

[W]e applied your treatment approaches to our patient's today and the results were amazing! We were running up and down the hallways with our Lite Gait (since we don't have a treadmill). It was such a great experience and I actually felt like an accomplished therapist today! Your course is amazing, I look forward to coming to another one of your lectures again [...] .
