Body-weight-supported treadmill training and locomotor training

Body-Weight-Supported Treadmill Training (BWSTT) and Locomotor Training

Body-weight-supported treadmill training (BWSTT) is a physical therapy intervention used in locomotor training to help individuals with neurological impairments regain the ability to walk. The technique involves a harness system that unloads a percentage of a patient's body weight as they practice walking on a treadmill.
