ZeroG Gait and Balance System
- the most sophisticated robotic body-weight support
system in the world.
The ZeroG® Gait and Balance System protects patients from falls while providing dynamic body-weight support as patients practice walking, balance tasks, sit-to-stand and even stairs. ZeroG is mounted to an overhead track which means there are no barriers between the patient and therapist. With ZeroG, patients can begin rehabilitation in a safe, controlled environment.
Overview
Dynamic Body Weight Support
ZeroG can maintain a consistent level of body-weight support regardless of vertical movements. For example, if the amount of unloading is set to 20%, the patient will always feel 20% lighter even when going from a sitting to standing position.
Safety
ZeroG has advanced fall protection measures which monitor patient movements at 1,000 times per second. ZeroG has been used to train hundreds of thousands of patients since 2008 without a single patient or therapist injury.
User Interface
An intuitive touchscreen or wireless remote are used to operate ZeroG. Each was developed with therapist feedback to ensure a user-friendly design.
Robotic Trolley
The motorized trolley automatically tracks patient movements up to 5 mph. Patients only feel the vertical unloading without any drag from behind.
Patient Setup
Patients are secured into a harness and then connected to ZeroG in under 5 minutes. Settings from previous sessions are easily accessible, so therapy can start immediately.

Features
Advanced Fall Protection
A fall is prevented by setting an allowable range of movement or when a patient descends too fast.
TRiP
TRiP (Training Responses in Postural Rehabilitation) applies controlled perturbations of varying strengths during stationary and walking activities to assist patients in learning how to recover from a loss of balance.
ZeroG Kinetics
ZeroG Kinetics target-matching modules provide patients real-time biofeedback of their movements to challenge postural control and dynamic stability.
Interactive Games
Interactive Games built into the ZeroG software make therapy fun yet cognitively challenging.
