Gait Training

The document outlines goals and preparatory activities for gait training. The general goals are to improve strength, range of motion, motor function, sensory integration, postural stability, dynamic stability, trunk and pelvic control, and functional balance. Preparatory activities include bridging to focus on lower trunk and hips/pelvis control, quadruped on trunk and pelvis control, sitting on proximal and intermediate upper extremity control, kneeling/half kneeling on trunk and lower extremity control, modified plantigrade on reciprocal lower extremity control and trunk control, and standing on proximal, intermediate, and distal lower extremity control and trunk control.

Gait training

1. 2. 3. 4. Mobility Stability Dynamic stability Skill

Depending on the level of patient involvement, development of specific anticipated goals for a preparatory exercise program is based on the following general goals: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Improve strength, power and endurance Increase or maintain range of motion Improve motor function (motor control and motor learning) Enhance sensory integration Instruct the patient in handling and moving the affected extremity or extremities Develop postural stability in sitting and standing Develop dynamic stability as evidenced by the ability to move within and between postures Improve trunk and pelvic control Develop functional balance responses
