The device helps to train the walking gait of people who have suffered from a variety of neurological, neuromuscular, and other injuries. It does so by having the legs strapped into the robotic component and the so-called*Enhanced Learning Intelligence TEchnology (ELITE) adjusts the assistance it provides depending on each patient’s needs.

The patient is constantly monitored using front and side cameras, which gives therapists a clear look at each patient’s walking style and ability. The firm claims that the robot can match each person’s natural walking movements and therefore not feel restrictive.

“The Optimal-G™ Pro has been a great addition to our therapy program,” in a published statement said Dr.*Martin Rahn Setliff, Medical Director of Inpatient Rehabilitation at Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in*Baton Rouge, La.*“It engages and motivates patients in ways we were never able to achieve previously. The numerous settings and options have made this device beneficial to patients with a variety of impairments and functional deficits.”
