Yes, PEG tubes are listed in the LiteGait user manual as a precaution.  You must pad around the area with rolled washcloths or a foam cut-out.

From a new user:   We have an involved CVA who is an ideal candidate except for his PEG tube. Have you had any experience in dealing with this issue - is it an absolute contraindication? are there guidelines you have heard of from other users? Any help will be appreciated.
