ZeroG Gait and Balance System featured in the National News

The Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Injuries Unit in Glasgow has been featured in the news this week with the Zero G Gait and Balance system.


The story features Mr Louden who suffered a broken neck and back, alongside multiple serious leg injuries, in August 2020.


Prior to using ZeroG Gait and Balance System, Mr Louden said he felt that he

"put so much work in and didn't see any return, and I could feel my hope just draining away".

In September last year, Mr Louden started using ZeroG which supports him during therapy and automatically synchronises with his movements to help him walk and prevent falls.

"It's transformed my life and how I feel," Mr Louden said. "I've gone from hardly being able to move to being able to walk 20 metres non-stop on the bars."

"My record on the ZeroG system is 57 metres."

About ZeroG

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.

Tees Neuro Therapy Training: A New Era in Neurological Rehabilitation & Strength Conditioning Since relocating to the newly expanded 4,000 sq. ft. facility, Tees Neuro Physiotherapy are launching a groundbreaking service: Tees Neuro Therapy Training . This innovative program introduces a new dimension to neurological rehabilitation by integrating Medical Training Therapy (MTT)—an approach that emphasizes strength and conditioning to complement traditional neurological physiotherapy. What Is Tees Neuro Therapy Training? Tees Neuro Therapy Training is designed for individuals recovering from neurological conditions who are ready to take their rehab to the next level—or maintain their health and mobility long-term. It’s ideal for patients who want to build upon the gains they’ve made in physiotherapy or those who are transitioning into more independent exercise but still need specialist support. At the heart of this service will be the UK's first centre to offer a suite of Tyromotion MTT devices, (including the LEXO , Amadeo , Myro and Tyrostation ) engineered for disabled access and neuro-rehab settings. These state-of-the-art tools offer a safe, adaptive, and empowering way to train—an option that simply isn’t available in standard gyms. They will be the first in the UK to house this kit which uniquely works by using compressed air for strength training rather than weights. An absolute game changer for exercise!

We are so pleased to see our Tecnobody Solution at the neuro-rehab outpatient centre in Neurotherapy Worx. The centre, based near Wigan, started using the D-Wall at the beginning of the year and went on to include the Prokin 252, WalkerView, and Data Server devices. Clinic owner, Sarah Wilkinson's experience with the advanced motion tracking, analysis, and therapy programs of the D-Wall has led her to adopt additional solutions, such as the Prokin 252 for balance and proprioception, and the Walker View for gait assessment and training. This strategy is designed to motivate patients and supply valuable data to the physiotherapy team, potentially reducing recovery time.
