Abstract
Methods, systems and kits are disclosed for facilitating a subject's gait and gait mechanics. Movement patterns with muscle hierarchy are also disclosed.
Claims13
A method for facilitating a subject's gait, comprising:
- applying a compound stress to a first muscle in a first pattern, bilaterally, the first muscle having a highest priority in an established hierarchy of muscles within a muscle group;
- determining whether the first muscle, bilaterally, is in need of treatment based on the first muscle's response to the compound stress;
- administering treatment to the first muscle, bilaterally, if the fist muscle requires treatment;
- moving to a second muscle, bilaterally, in the established hierarchy of muscles within the muscle group;
- and
- continuing to apply a compound stress, testing, and treatment, for each muscle in priority;
- wherein the treatments lead to an improved gait for the subject.
4 more elements
A method for improving gait mechanics in a subject, comprising:
- reprograming the subject's Central Pattern Generator, wherein the reprogramming is accomplished by using a compound stressor in combination with testing and treatment using the muscle priority found in the subject's 43 muscle patterns.
A kit for supporting a subject's gait comprising:
- instructions for improving gait based on a hierarchical pattern for the 43 muscle groups;
- and
- a treadmill appropriate for escalating a walking speed for the subject;
- wherein use of the treadmill is provided to be coordinated with the instructions specific to improving the subject's gait.
