166: Improving Gait Outcomes With The NewGait Device
On today’s show we interview Benga Adeeko, the CEO of MQT Innovations, maker of the NewGait device, an innovative gait rehab device. An engineer by background, Benga accidentally stumbled into the rehab world with his product that was originally designed to help athletes sprint faster when a physical therapist tried the device on her patient with an incomplete spinal cord injury. Pre-NewGait the patient’s walking was extremely limited, but after training with the NewGait she was able to complete a 5K and has since recovered function fully. We asked Benga all about how the device works, who it works best for, can patients don/doff it, how does it fit into the plan of care, and more! It is so helpful to learn all about the things that are out there to assist our patients with their recovery. Sometimes as a clinician the right tool can help accelerate a patient's progress, and this may be one of them for you like it's shaping up to be for Erin’s client!
