What this changes.
We walk you through a useful home plan and show how your therapist reviews it.
Our reading of the reference above. Whether a product or device suits you is decided in consultation.
The approaches behind the conversation.
Each reference below has its own mechanism, scope and official source, so we never treat them as interchangeable.
The plan between appointments
A digital home exercise program can put the therapist’s selected movements, video guides and instructions within reach between visits. The prescription should change as the clinical picture changes.
- Make the instructions fit your space and equipment.
- Ask how to report symptoms or difficulty.
- Review the program rather than collecting exercises indefinitely.

Put the movement on the map
Dual force plates record forces during selected movement tests. A clinician can use the measurements to discuss strength, loading and change over time alongside the broader examination.
- Ask which test answers your functional question.
- Compare repeat measurements under similar conditions.
- Treat the result as one input to a clinical decision.

Change the load, keep the movement
AlterG treadmills use adjustable body-weight support for selected rehabilitation and training situations. The therapist controls how that tool fits the individual loading plan.
- Discuss why reduced loading may be useful.
- Ask how support and pace are progressed.
- Connect treadmill work with the activities you want to resume.
