How It Can Affect Walking
Recovery after a stroke can involve changes to movement, sensation and everyday activities. The right equipment depends on which abilities are affected and how recovery is progressing.
Where Support May Be Useful

This is a practical explanation of the design's potential relevance. It is not a claim that LifeGlider treats Stroke recovery or is proven effective for every person with these difficulties.
