Supported Walking Therapy with WalkPort

WalkPort is a supported walk station designed to enhance walking therapy in physical rehabilitation facilities. WalkPort enables structured, guided walking experiences that help therapists reinforce proper gait patterns and support functional recovery.

Patients using WalkPort can safely participate in essential weight‑bearing activities, including standing, walking, balance training, and weight shifting. These activities support mobility development, promote confidence, and contribute to improved functional outcomes.

By integrating WalkPort into your therapy programs, your facility can provide consistent, repeatable walking therapy that supports patient progress and independence throughout the rehabilitation journey.

PATIENT BENEFITS

Improving Mobility, Balance, and Independence

Patient/ Therapist Interaction

Traditional gait therapy may require assistance from multiple clinicians to ensure patient safety. With WalkPort, once the patient is safely transferred and positioned, it supports the guided walking therapy.

Boost Patient Confidence

WalkPort provides a stable walking environment that helps reduce fear of falling. This allows patients to focus on gait, balance, and weight shifting, building confidence and encouraging active participation in therapy.

Longer Walking Times

Quick setup allow patients to begin walking within minutes. This enables longer walking intervals during each session, supporting greater endurance, balance training, and functional mobility progression.

FACILITY BENEFITS

Enhancing Therapy Efficiency and Outcomes

Optimize Resources

WalkPort supports guided gait therapy with reduced physical assistance, helping facilities optimize therapist utilization and increase patient flow without compromising care.

Safety for Patient and Therapists

By providing a stable and secure walking environment, WalkPort helps reduce the risk of fall‑related injuries to both patients and therapists, supporting a safer therapy setting.

Maximize Patient Outcomes

Quick setup allow patients to spend more time in weight‑bearing activities, building confidence and enabling progression toward more challenging, goal‑oriented therapy plans.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who are the best candidates to use WalkPort?

WalkPort is best suited for patients who can benefit from supported, guided walking therapy as part of a structured rehabilitation program. Appropriate candidates may include individuals who:

  • Are able to bear weight and participate in standing or assisted walking activities
  • Require support or stability to safely practice walking and gait training
  • Are recovering from neurological, orthopedic, or deconditioning‑related impairments
  • Are transitioning from supported standing to active walking therapy
  • Benefit from repetitive, task‑specific gait practice to improve mobility, balance, and endurance

WalkPort is designed to support walking therapy under the supervision of a licensed therapist, allowing clinicians to determine suitability based on each patient’s functional status, goals, and safety considerations.

When should a patient begin to use WalkPort?

Patients may begin using WalkPort when a licensed therapist determines they are ready to participate in weight‑bearing and guided walking therapy. This typically occurs once the patient can safely stand with support and follow therapy instructions.

WalkPort is often introduced:

  • When patients are transitioning from supported standing to active walking
  • When early gait training is appropriate but additional stability or guidance is needed
  • During phases of rehabilitation where repetitive, task‑specific walking can support functional progress

The clinical team should evaluate each patient’s medical status, strength, balance, endurance, and safety needs to determine the appropriate time to incorporate WalkPort into the rehabilitation plan.

Is electrical stimulation available to use with WalkPort?

Kevin shares his inspiring full testimony at WalkPort.

We had the privilege of trying out Medthera’s new WalkPort machine for 30 days. First look at this product had me amazed at how compact it is, while adding more natural leg action into the design that can easily be adapted from a 6-foot patient to my 5-foot 2-inch wife. My wife, LuAnne, has been in physical therapy for 36 months. In that time, we have used 3 different styles of machines, most of which required one or two therapists to get her into. One took over 20 minutes to go from wheelchair to harness to the machine. Once in, one of the therapists would control the speed while the other would make sure LuAnne was OK and, in some cases, moving her leg. WalkPort does a fantastic job of addressing all the problems I have seen in the current style of machines on the market today.

The 3 area’s that I feel make it stand out.

1. The design is so easy to adjust to fit the patient. Once set up, the patient can do as much of the transfer from the wheelchair to the WalkPort as their disability will allow. In our case, LuAnne can roll up to the machine and get into the seat on her own. We have to position her right leg, which is paralyzed, into position and secure her foot. Once that is done, she can get herself to a standing position and start the motion of walking with no assistance from us. This allows her to walk for around a half hour quite easily.

2. The motion of the legs, knee and ankle is so close to actual walking movement, helping her re-establish the motor function of walking in her brain. The muscle gain and stamina were rather noticeable every day with major improvements over the course of our time with WalkPort. Towards the end of our 30 days, we had to limit LuAnne to an hour in the evening sessions as she was enjoying it so much.

3. The last and probably most valuable aspect is the attitude/excitement LuAnne expressed. She was incredibly proud of the work she was doing, especially how much of it she could perform unassisted. She always had a bright smile on her face when using the machine. She had gained such a boost in confidence while doing her exercises, from maneuvering around the machine on her own, to holding a standing position, to starting the motion of walking without assistance. She was very empowered seeing how much progress she was making on her own.

The size of this machine is about one-third the size of the other machines we had tried in the past. The first day we were introduced to the machine, LuAnne was in it and walking on her own within minutes. No motors controlling her stride. The enjoyment we saw on her face was so nice to see. Something else my daughter noticed was LuAnne walking forward for a while, then stopping and starting to walk backwards. I am not a therapist, but this seems to be a big deal to me.

In the end, LuAnne was able to gain muscle in her right leg and increase her stamina. We are still working on her walking on her own, but I am sure using this machine will reduce the time it will take to get to the next level of recovery.
