ZeroG Gait & Balance System
If you or a loved one can no longer walk or stand due to a stroke or life-changing injury, our team is here. Our ZeroG Gait & Balance System allows a patient to try standing and walking without fear of falling. It's a harness that supports a patient's weight, so even weak muscles can start to help the patient walk. This also allows the brain and spinal cord to reconnect, as we don't normally have to think about walking.
