Gait and Balance training is implemented in Physical Therapy to help improve functional and safe ambulation in individuals with various conditions that may be impeding their gait. Conditions that can affect an individual’s gait and balance including, but are not limited to, muscle and joint injuries (pain, stiffness), general weakness, coordination deficits, Parkinson Disease, ataxia, vision and hearing deficits, vestibular issues, vertigo/dizziness, Strokes, Traumatic Brain Injuries, etcetera. Gait and balance training can have 1 of 2 goals: 1) To recover normal functional ambulation for safe walking and mobility, or 2) To train the body through necessary compensations to allow for functional movement despite a chronic condition/injury that no longer has the potential for improvement. This may also include the use of adaptive devices such as walkers, canes, rollators, etc.
