Walking Independence with the RT-600

5 Things you should know about the RT600

 

  1. Both adults and children can benefit from using the RT-600.
  2. It uses functional electrical stimulation to help the muscles contract and activate at appropriate times during walking.
  3. It can help improve muscle coordination, muscle strength and reduce spasticity.
  4. It works on increasing weight bearing with each session so a client can increase their walking independence.
  5. You are supported by a harness system which allows your therapist to be hands on during an RT600 session and incorporate more functional aspects to the treatment such as helping with arm swing or completing a fine motor activity.

 

If you think the RT600 machine would benefit you or a loved one, call Crawl, Walk, Jump, Run today to schedule an initial evaluation or a free 30 minute screening: 586-323-2957.
