lokomat pics











Here are the pics of the Lokomat...you can see how the robotic legs are strapped to Drew's legs and how it all works together. There is a pulley system, the computer can be adjusted to add more or less body weight for when he is on the treadmill. The rate/speed he walks and the amount of work the robotic legs do are also adjustable. I asked the therapist to put a mirror in front of him, so he can watch his legs move. He loves it! He is doing really well with it. Our goal is that he will have more endurance and strength, and stand better. Balance and coordination will come later...we hope all is well with everyone!!! Looking forward to the MDA walk on Sunday with Shari and Team Skywalker!!!
