GaitBetter

GaitBetter GaitBetter is an innovative solution for gait rehabilitation & prevention using Virtual Reality. The It's also a big hit with patients!

Gait rehabilitation and fall prevention meets virtual reality. With measurable, significant, and repeatable improvements to motor-cognitive function, GaitBetter is a cutting-edge solution for , , and beyond. The semi-immersive experience combining any treadmill and the GaitBetter system could potentially prevent 80% of falls and provide more effec

tive treatment in a shorter period of time than any other existing modality. GaitBetter turns any existing treadmill into a smart, personalized, safe, and fun gait training system. It offers real-life scenarios for clients to practice, such as walking in a busy city street, avoiding puddles, walking at night, and responding to distractions. Our VR system allows GaitBetter therapists to completely personalize training for each patient. Combined with decision making, memory exercises, and attention exercises, these multi-tasking workouts significantly improve dynamic balance, endurance, gait strategies, and cognitive functions. It leads to rapid and sustained improvements in gait, cognitive skills, and decreased fall risks. GaitBetter provides multiple benefits especially for gait rehabilitation caused by aging, high risk for falls, functional deterioration, balance issues, Parkinson's and MS, stroke victims, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, joint replacements, amputations, soft tissue injuries. VR treadmills are beneficial to businesses such as:

- Physical therapy clinics: A cost effective solution for everyone where patients GaitBetter quicker and better.

- Assisted Living homes: VR treadmills are a safe and effective method of building patient confidence and motivation. GaitBetter has helped thousands of customers regain their independence, self-confidence, and improve their quality of life.

Preventing falls requires a proactive and layered approach. At home, simple modifications, like installing grab bars, improving lighting, and clearing tripping hazards, create safer living spaces. Regular health check-ups are equally important, helping to detect vision changes, medication side effects, and chronic conditions that may increase fall risk. Just as critical are balance and strength training programs, tailored to individual needs and woven into daily routines to build stability, confidence, and independence.

But prevention doesn’t stop at the individual level. Communities and healthcare systems must take an active role. Public awareness campaigns can highlight both the risks and the solutions. Providers should make fall risk assessments a standard part of routine care and connect patients with appropriate resources. Technology also adds powerful tools to the mix, wearables that monitor gait and balance, smart home systems that alert caregivers to falls, and virtual reality (VR) training that safely simulates real-world walking challenges, systems such as GaitBetter

By working together, we can greatly reduce the number of falls and the harm they cause. The result is not only healthier, more confident seniors, but also reduced emotional and financial strain on families and healthcare systems. Creating safer environments empowers older adults to live with dignity and freedom.

For those of a certain age, this image probably sparks a wave of nostalgia.

Blue...red.

And so it went on.
Testing memory.
A fun game, but with a serious purpose.

Memory and decision-making are vital components of cognitive health, and cognitive health plays a critical role in physical wellbeing. The connection between mind and body is powerful. When we challenge both together, we can help people stay active, engaged, and independent for longer.

GaitBetter is used in clinical rehabilitation with a broad range of patients, from stroke recovery and Parkinson's disease to amputee rehabilitation and neuro recovery.

Helping rehab professionals to help patients improve walking ability, symmetry, and functional mobility is what do!

Gait symmetry matters and when that symmetry breaks down, the whole system starts to compensate in ways that can quietly cause bigger problems over time.

Critical, that can result in increased fall risk. When one leg consistently does more work than the other, balance becomes less stable. The body has to constantly “correct” itself mid-step, which increases the chance of missteps or falls, especially in older adults or neurological conditions.

That's why we developed our Symmetry-Check Module, that assesses a patient’s walking symmetry by measuring step length differences over a 1-minute walk.

It provides a summary report including:
• Cadence (steps per minute)
• Minimum, maximum, and average step length (right and left)
• Total Symmetry Score (0-100%)

The Symmetry Score Interpretation allows PTs and rehab professionals to identify patient gait symmetry and monitor improvements over time as patients continue their treatment with the GaitBetter system.

• 85% and above: Normal symmetry
• 65-84%: Mild asymmetry
• 40-64%: Moderate asymmetry
• Under 39%: Severe asymmetry

One of the key focuses of Older Americans Month 2026 is 'Prevention'.

We often talk about 'The Fall Cycle'.

One fall leads to fear, reduced activity, muscle weakness, poorer balance, and increased isolation.

These changes make another fall more likely, creating a downward spiral.

Breaking the cycle requires confidence-building, targeted strength and balance training, and safe, real-world walking practice for long-term recovery and independence.

Prevention beats out post-fall treatment.

May is Older Americans Month.

John is 88 years young.

He is probably an 'older American'.

He doesn't really act like an older American, feel like an older American, or live like an older American.

Everyone should age like John!
