Bodyweight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) is an intensive program designed to improve walking speed, walking endurance, and gross motor skills for children and adults with cerebral palsy who have a Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) Level II-IV. Â
During BWSTT, the body weight of the client is unloaded by a counter-weight harness system (ceiling hoist and sling or LiteGait) placed over a treadmill. The legs are advanced actively by the client, with the manual assistance of a therapist or family/caregiver.
Additional cues (eg. verbal, tactile) are also provided to elicit active change during BWSTT. Sessions also involve the practice of walking on the ground with or without a walking aid to ensure the transfer of walking skills to the usual environment or setting.Â
