Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation was the first rehabilitation facility in Pennsylvania to offer the SafeGait™, a dynamic weight support system used for balance and gait training.

Developed by Gorbel Medical, SafeGait is a 360 degree balance and mobility trainer designed to help patients relearn to walk after a stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, amputation, and other neurological or neurodegenerative diagnoses. A body harness suspended from a ceiling-mounted track safely holds a patient upright.

Software in the system can distinguish between a patient’s intentional movement downward and when a patient is falling, allowing therapists and patients to safely work on fall prevention and floor to wheelchair/stand transfers. Innovative software allows therapists to track length of time, distance, number of falls and other parameters, creating and monitoring individual programs.
