Received this email from a PT using LiteGait at an elementary school:

Our program has really benefitted from having the litegait available for use.  most of the users and their families have been thrilled to be able to access the litegait at their schools.  we have been tracking walking speed and many of the kids have experienced an increase in walking speed after using the treadmill twice weekly for 6 weeks. 
 
i do have one question.  i have been tracking walking speed on a quarterly basis and am finding that the walking speeds are reverting back to pre-litegait training speeds within about 1/2 a year post training.  do others find the same?  do most children need regular use of the litegait to maintain improved walking speeds?


Please comment.  Thanks!
