I would argue (based on Karen Adolph's data) that, if possible, more often would be ideal.  When children are learning to walk they cover 29 football fields a day- it takes epochs of practice to develop a skill.

  • Depending upon patient diagnosis and patient tolerance.
  • Speed: to stimulate CPG, must be faster.
  • Frequency: Research shows improvement with as little as one treatment session per week. 3x/wk is average.
  • Ideally would like to walk patient at speed slightly faster than what they are able, increasing amount of time and speed and decreasing amount of weight supported as therapy progresses.

How fast should the patient walk? How long? How frequently?
