Lokomat Therapy

Doctors have long believed that the nervous system was unable to recover from serious injuries. Now, VA doctors use a new machine called the Lokomat to help retrain Veterans with brain injury. With the Lokomat, patients use robotics to re-learn motor skills they have lost. See http://www1.va.gov/opa/feature/amervet/video/amvet2009-1-1.asx for the Section 508 compliant version of this video.

I am physical therapist in Spain. We used one similar mashine in Finland 7 years ago, and it is amazing what can do this therapy to several neuro. Now I am working in Spain again, we dont have this techonology now here (any money too), but i am trying to do something similar "hand made" with a eliptica for a young boy: lets see! wish me good luck!
