Overhead Track Harness Therapy
Overhead Track Harness Therapy is a specialized approach designed to enhance movement and rehabilitation through the use of a support system. This therapy involves using a harness suspended from an overhead track to support and stabilize the body while performing exercises or physical activities.
How Overhead Track Harness Therapy Works
1.Harness and Track Setup
How It Works:
In Overhead Track Harness Therapy, the patient wears a harness attached to an overhead track, allowing free movement while providing adjustable body-weight support.
Effect:
Prevents falls and injuries, giving patients confidence during movement.
Enables proper walking patterns without full weight-bearing.
2. Adjustable Weight Support
How It Works:
Adjustable Weight Support in Overhead Track Harness Therapy allows the system to provide varying levels of body-weight assistance. This can be customized based on the patient’s needs, reducing or increasing the support as their strength and mobility improve.
Effect:
Supports patients in increasing weight-bearing over time.
Tailors support to individual rehabilitation stages.
3. Movement Assistance
How It Works:
Movement Assistance in Overhead Track Harness Therapy provides support as patients practice walking, balance, or mobility exercises. The harness system helps guide and stabilize movements, allowing patients to focus on correct patterns without fear of falling.
Effect:
Helps patients practice controlled, coordinated movements.
Allows patients to push limits safely, knowing they won’t fall.
