Gait Rehabilitation The Treadport is an immersive virtual environment at the University of Utah. We are exploring how the Treadport might be used in the rehabilitation of patients learning to walk again after spinal-cord injuries or other disorders.
This local news segment features the use of the Treadport for rehabilitation of patients with incomplete spinal-chord injuries.
