GaitKeeper GS22 to be used with LiteGait 400 - for Professional Therapy and Care Programs

LiteGait GaitKeeper S22 Medical Rehabilitation Treadmill for Clinical Therapy and Partial Weight-Bearing Gait Training

In physical therapy, neuro-rehabilitation, and acute care settings, standard commercial treadmills present significant operational and safety liabilities. Early-stage patients such as those recovering from severe stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, or major orthopedic surgery frequently lack the balance, motor control, or joint stability required to safely step onto or match the minimum speed of standard exercise equipment. Standard treadmills typically feature high step-up heights, fast initial belt engagement, rigid handrails, and motors that stall or surge under high load at low speeds. The GaitKeeper S22 directly solves these clinical challenges by serving as a dedicated, medical-grade gait rehabilitation system engineered specifically for integration with dynamic partial weight-bearing body support structures like the LiteGait 400.

Designed explicitly for facility managers, clinical directors, physical therapists, and institutional procurement officers, the GaitKeeper S22 delivers high-torque precision at micro-speeds. Powered by an efficient 2.0 HP AC motor, the belt maintains smooth, uniform acceleration without surging or stuttering, even at a true 0.1 mph start speed under full heavy load (supporting up to 400 lbs, with an optional 500 lb configuration available). The treadmill features a wide 22" x 56" walking deck, a low 7.5" step-up height, forward speeds up to 10.0 mph, reverse speeds up to 3.0 mph, and 0–15% incline capabilities. Equipped with removable console controls and patent-pending Adjustabars™, clinicians can tailor height and width settings for patients of any size while maintaining ergonomic proximity during manual facilitation.

Key Benefits:

• True Zero-Start & Micro-Increment Speeds: Starts safely at 0.1 mph and adjusts in precise 0.1 mph increments up to 10.0 mph, providing total safety control for severely impaired or non-ambulatory patients during early motor re-learning.
• Bi-Directional Belt Capability: Features forward speeds up to 10.0 mph and reverse speeds up to 3.0 mph to facilitate specific retro-walking protocols, targeted hamstring activation, hip extension re-education, and posterior balance re-training.
• High-Torque 2.0 HP AC Motor System: Delivers smooth, quiet, and cool torque performance across extreme slow-speed runs, preventing belt hesitation or stalling under patient loading or manual clinical intervention.
• Removable Clinician Control Console: Allows physical therapists to detach the display unit and monitor session metrics, adjust speed, or configure session target goals from multiple working positions alongside the patient.
• Patent-Pending Adjustabars™ Handrail System: Offers extensive range and incremental locking positions for both handlebar height (24" to 40") and width to accommodate pediatric through bariatric adult populations.
• Low 7.5-Inch Step-Up Height: Minimizes mounting and dismounting tripping risks for mobility-impaired patients while reducing manual physical lifting requirements for physical therapy staff.
• Optional GaitSens Sensor Integration: Built-in sensor array provides real-time biomechanical data and objective reporting on step length, symmetry, stance duration, and weight-bearing parameters for evidence-based therapy documentation.
