"We Improve People's Lives" is the cornerstone in Gorbel’s Mission. Improving the safety, efficiency and quality of gait training and balance therapy is our fundamental purpose with each device we design, develop and manufacture. Our best opportunity to meet this objective has always been by working directly with the people we aim to serve; rehabilitation therapists. Whether it is a body weight support system, a rehabilitation harness, or a fall protection mobility trainer, the contributions of therapists are evident in every product in the SafeGait Solutions for rehabilitation.
We will be attending the IHI Patient Safety Conference 2019, come see us if you'll be there!
The SafeGait 360 Balance and Mobility Trainer has allowed us to expand our care to patients with severe orthopedic and neurological impairments. With its Dynamic Fall Protection, therapists can challenge their patients, improving their abilities and overcoming balance concerns in a safer and more effective way.
I have personally worked with patients with incomplete spinal cord injuries who were otherwise unable to walk outside the parallel bars due to their extreme fall risk. The SafeGait provides us with the ability to not only help them walk, but to walk frequently and for substantial distances. This allows patients to make wonderful gains in functional strength, endurance, balance and mobility skills.
…when they are using SafeGait, our therapists can start (therapy) earlier and focus on guiding their movements rather than holding the patient up. So with this device we can offer patients substantially earlier, safer therapy and a greater sense of security, with the use of fewer resources.
I use the STEPRIGHT Stability Trainers with several of my pediatric patients when we are working on balance, motor planning and control, and strengthening activities. I love how much it makes them work on their ankle strategies, and they think it is great fun to walk in the “astronaut shoes”. They are super easy to get on and off, lightweight, and easy to store. I can adjust the amount of air in them to change the level of work for each child. It’s nice to be able to work on each foot individually, and still be mobile across any surface that needs practice. This is a great product!
