From stroke and spinal cord injury to amputee and orthopedic injury, the Vector provides an unparalleled customized gait training solution for patients of all levels and injuries. Leveraging dynamic body weight support (DBWS), the system is designed for both physical and occupational therapy, allowing patients to perform pre-gait activities, over-ground gait rehabilitation, and activities of daily living (ADLs).
– Kristin E., Occupational Therapist
I don’t need a second, third or fourth pair of hands. I can focus on what the patient is doing at the very moment and not think about… are they going to fall?

WHY Vector?
The Vector is the world’s only un-tethered robotic over-ground gait system designed to help rehabilitative teams to increase patient mobility while reducing the risk of injuries. With the wide range of training activities facilitated by the system, your patients can efficiently and safely progress to independent ambulation in a shorter period of time.

VECTORFACT: SATISFIES THE NEED TO COMPLY WITH NO LIFT REGULATIONS
WHY USE DYNAMICBODYWEIGHTSUPPORT [DBWS]?
1. REPLICATE A NATURAL KINEMATIC ENVIRONMENT
During normal gait a person’s center of mass moves in all three planes: sagittal, frontal & transverse. The use of Vector’s DBWS allows the clinician to customize the level of unloading and enables the patient to replicate natural kinematic movements, without assistive aids.
2. PROVIDE THE PATIENT A REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE
Specificity of walking overground allows the clinician to focus on both gait training and pre-gait activities (e.g. transfers), balance, stair climbing, obstacle course navigation, surface changes andeven treadmill endurance training.
3. ENABLES CLINICIAN ACCESSIBILITY
Inherant in their design, robotic technologies limit the interaction between the clinician and patient. The Vector allows the clinician to maintain a hands on approach as well as create a completely safe environment for both themselves and the patient, while removing all obstacles to direct therapist/patient contact.

LOSTPRODUCTIVITYPERSONNELINJURY/FALLS
In the rehabilitation environment two counteracting forces meet – maximize mobility and minimize risk. Patients as well as healthcare providers are at risk of injury during the rehab process.
Falling is the #1 risk of injury during treatment. Falls impede the rehabilitation process by causing loss of confidence, anxiety, activity restriction, and injury.
IS THE FEAR OF INJURING YOURSELF OR YOUR PATIENTS LIMITING YOURTHERAPEUTIC REGIMEN?
PATIENT & PROVIDER INJURY PREVENTION
The Vector makes me feel very confident in walking and it’s very secure.

The prevalence of lower back pain reported by PTs and PT assistants is as high as 62% & 56% respectively, followed by significant injury rates for the wrist, hand, and upper back.2 The three most prevalent activities at the time of injury were transferring patients, lifting patients, and responding to unanticipated or sudden movement by a patient.
The Vector offers a safe environment providing patients with the confidence they need to practice walking independently. Without the need for continual therapist support, clinicians are at a lower risk of injury and can expand treatment options.

With the Vector operating system, all Training Session Controls are immediately at the clinician’s fingertips every step of the way during patient treatment, making for a seamless and time efficient session. Operated by a PC, all functionality is also wirelessly available on the Vector Remote, enabling the clinician to make changes on the fly while interacting with the patient and without stopping the session.
