How Activator Poles Improve Gait- Speed, Stride & Balance
Learn how to use Activator ℗ Poles (patent pending) to improve all outcomes of gait: balance, stride length, arm swing, speed and less gait variability. A case study from a gait assessment lab was reviewed as well as other videos of gait changes with clients with Parkinson’s, stroke, ABI and older adults.
“The Activator Poles by far are the most effective tool I’ve ever used! Overall It’s been great for my Rehab and great for my Recovery.” Lynn Belanger, stroke client
