Did you know that we developed our G-WEG system based on outpatient stroke therapy? For years, participants in post-stroke rehabilitation have been training with the G-WEG. Why? Because it helps them improve their gait, concentration, word-finding ability, and much more.
The ability to focus on more than one task at a time declines after a stroke. Dividing one’s attention between multiple tasks leads to impaired balance. The risk of falling increases threefold in cases of balance impairment or unsteady gait.
Dual-task training on the G-WEG challenges both motor and cognitive skills at the same time.
Stroke survivors perform simple perceptual, memory, and daily-life tasks while walking. This trains their attention skills and promotes the automation of walking. The combination of walking and performing another task at the same time increases walking speed and is significantly more effective than simple walking training.
