The rehabilitation department of HVEST was given the LiteGait\u00ae training device this autumn. The donor is Kvenf\u00e9lagi\u00f0 Hl\u00edf, but the association was dissolved this year.
LiteGait\u00ae is a training device that can be used in all possible rehabilitation situations, such as walking indoors, on a treadmill, in standing and sitting balance training to name a few. The user of the device is completely safe in different positions as the person is attached with a hip belt and shoulder support belts. LiteGait\u00ae can be adapted to each user as there are many options. In LiteGait\u00ae, the user is completely safe, there is no risk of falling and the therapist's physical workload is significantly reduced. One of the advantages of LiteGait\u00ae is the ability to adjust how much weight the user takes on the device. If the user has difficulty walking when full weight is taken on their feet, it is easy to adjust how much weight the person can take to be able to walk. Another feature of the device is that the user can not only practice walking forward, but also backward and sideways walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LiteGait\u00ae's agent in Iceland is Fastus and on September 26 last. their representative came to \u00cdsafj\u00f6r\u00f0ur together with the agent of the device in Europe and the employees of the Rehabilitation Department were taught how to use the device and several users were allowed to test it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HVEST thanks Kvenf\u00e9lagin Hl\u00edf for this generous gift, which will be used for all kinds of rehabilitation at the institution. Here you can see some pictures that were taken when the presentation and teaching of the device took place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
