Stability. Safety. Strength in Every Step

At Ameyam Physio & Child Development Centre, our Gait and Balance Training program is a cornerstone of rehabilitation for individuals struggling with unstable walking, frequent falls, or difficulty maintaining coordination. Backed by over 20 years of clinical experience, cutting-edge technology, and a team of highly qualified physiotherapists (MPT, PhD), we offer comprehensive gait assessments and targeted rehabilitation to restore balance, correct walking patterns, and instill confidence in movement.

Our program is particularly effective for pediatric patients with developmental delays, gait abnormalities, or postural issues, alongside individuals suffering from neurological, musculoskeletal, or age-related conditions. Whether your child needs help with walking or you’re recovering from a stroke or injury, our goal is to reduce fall risk, enhance mobility, and help you or your loved one achieve greater independence.

Who Needs Gait & Balance Training?

  • Pediatric Patients: Children with developmental delays,
    cerebral palsy, abnormal gait, or coordination challenges.

  • Stroke survivors: Those with hemiplegia or foot drop.

  • Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.

  • Elderly individuals: At high risk of falls and requiring fall prevention.

  • Post-surgical patients: Hip/knee replacements, spinal surgeries, or fractures.

  • Vertigo and vestibular dysfunction: Patients with dizziness or balance loss.

  • Orthopaedic injuries: Affecting lower limbs (fractures, ligament tears).

  • Spinal cord injuries and neuropathies.

Our Gait & Balance Rehabilitation Approach Includes

We use GaitON, a state-of-the-art sensor-based system that allows for precise, real-time gait analysis. This system measures step length, cadence, weight distribution, and gait symmetry, providing valuable insights that inform personalized rehabilitation plans. With GaitON, we can track progress with objective data and adjust the treatment plan as needed for optimal results.
A thorough assessment of your static and dynamic balance, reflexes, and proprioception allows us to determine your fall risk and design a treatment program to reduce it. This is particularly important for pediatric patients and elderly individuals, as they require special attention to minimize the risk of falls.

We combine traditional techniques with advanced technology:

  • Rhymo Robotic Gait Trainer: Assists in retraining walking patterns, weight shifting, and motor control. This is especially helpful for pediatric patients or those with severe motor impairments.
  • GaitON-based treadmill training: With or without body-weight support, helping patients gradually regain proper walking form.
  • Parallel bar walking for early-stage rehab.
  • Foot placement and stride correction using visual and auditory feedback for more accurate walking patterns.
  • Mirror therapy for motor learning, especially useful in pediatric cases to help children understand body movements.

To improve overall stability and functional movement:

  • Static and dynamic balance exercises on foam surfaces and wobble boards.
  • Coordination drills designed to improve eye-head movement and multi-tasking while walking.
  • Dual-task training to simulate real-life conditions and improve balance under stress.

We use focused exercises to enhance:

  • Lower limb strength and core stability, critical for balance.
  • Joint flexibility, especially around the hips, knees, and ankles, to promote smooth movement.
  • Posture and alignment correction to prevent compensations that may affect walking.
For pediatric patients or those with vestibular disorders, we incorporate exercises that help improve body awareness, spatial orientation, and sensory processing, ensuring better control during movement.
We offer guidance on the proper use of assistive devices such as canes, walkers, and orthotics to enhance mobility, especially for children who may require support in their walking efforts.
We provide personalized home exercise plans to continue rehabilitation progress outside the clinic, along with training for caregivers to ensure safe mobility and better outcomes.
