How It Can Affect Walking
A brain injury can lead to a range of rehabilitation needs. Movement, balance and coordination may be affected, but the pattern depends on the injury and the person.
Where Support May Be Useful
LifeGlider may be relevant to an individual who can take steps but needs support around the body. It is helpful to consider one task at a time, including getting into position, walking, turning and coming to a controlled stop.
This is a practical explanation of the design's potential relevance. It is not a claim that LifeGlider treats Acquired brain injury or is proven effective for every person with these difficulties.
Start With A Useful Goal
- A clear indoor route without clutter or unexpected obstacles.
- An everyday activity that fits the person's existing rehabilitation goals.

What To Consider
Walking ability is only part of the picture. Vision, awareness, understanding instructions and responses to obstacles can affect equipment use. Work within the person's established rehabilitation advice. A newly sustained head injury with walking or balance problems needs urgent medical attention.
