Medical professionals can expect higher therapeutic effects when they use this device for gait training for patients suffering hemiplegia from a stroke along with lower limb orthosis. The structure of this device is really simple. It consists of a vest to support trunk functions and elastic belts to put on the vest.

You can use this device on wide stages from acute, recovery to the maintenance stage. You can also use this on KAFO or AFO, in various situations.
An assistant can transfer care motion easily by using this pad on paralyzed side.
