treatment for better outcomes
Your plan may include walking practice, balance exercises, leg strengthening, coordination work, and functional movement based on your current abilities.
When appropriate, Bioness L300, PoNSยฎ, virtual reality, or other movement tools may be included to support specific walking and balance goals.
Results and timelines vary from person to person.
NeuroWalkโข supports people experiencing changes in walking, balance, leg strength, coordination, foot clearance, endurance, transfers, or everyday mobility following stroke, brain injury, neurological conditions, illness, or reduced activity.
Care Focused on How You Move in Real Life
NeuroWalkโข brings neurological physiotherapy, gait training, balance work, strengthening, and functional movement into one coordinated program.
Depending on your needs, sessions may include Bioness L300, PoNSยฎ, virtual reality, balance training, gait retraining, strength exercises, and task-based mobility practice.
The focus stays practical: helping you work toward the walking and mobility activities that matter in your daily life.
Yes. Your mobility aid can be included in the assessment and training. Sessions may focus on safer use, walking control, balance, endurance, and confidence with everyday mobility.
Your program may include strengthening, gait retraining, balance work, and movement practice. Bioness L300 may also be considered for eligible people when it supports walking and foot-clearance goals.
No. NeuroWalkโข may also support people with brain injuries, multiple sclerosis, Parkinsonโs-related mobility changes, neurological conditions, balance concerns, weakness, or other changes affecting walking.

Complete the form and the In Step team will contact you to discuss your walking, balance, and mobility concerns.
๐ Your information is kept confidential.
Neurological changes can affect strength, balance, sensation, coordination, timing, and muscle control. These changes may alter step length, walking speed, foot placement, posture, or confidence during everyday mobility.
Shuffling may be linked with reduced foot clearance, stiffness, weakness, balance changes, slower movement, or neurological conditions. Gait training may focus on step length, rhythm, posture, and walking control.
Heavy-feeling legs may relate to weakness, fatigue, altered sensation, reduced coordination, stiffness, or neurological changes. A mobility assessment can explore which factors are affecting your walking pattern.
Walking speed may improve through strength training, gait practice, balance exercises, coordination work, and endurance training. Progress depends on the condition, current mobility, participation, and individual goals.
Turning requires coordination, weight shifting, balance, foot placement, and quick adjustments. Neurological changes may affect these skills, making turns slower, less controlled, or more difficult in busy environments.
Gait training may address differences in step length, foot placement, weight transfer, posture, and leg control. Exercises are selected according to the movement pattern and functional goals.
Leg weakness can make standing, stepping, climbing stairs, and controlling the body during walking more difficult. Strengthening may focus on the hips, knees, ankles, and movements used every day.
Balance training may improve weight shifting, standing control, stepping reactions, turning, and confidence. Exercises can progress from supported activities to more functional walking and community-based movement challenges.
Walking requires the legs, trunk, arms, vision, and balance systems to work together. Reduced coordination may affect rhythm, step timing, direction changes, and the ability to respond quickly.
Core strength supports trunk control, posture, balance, and weight transfer during walking. Better control through the trunk may make stepping, turning, transfers, and uneven surfaces easier to manage.
The ankle helps with foot clearance, balance, push-off, and controlled landing. Reduced ankle strength or coordination may affect step quality and increase effort during everyday walking.
Endurance training may help people tolerate longer walks, shopping, appointments, and outdoor activities. Programs can gradually build walking time, strength, pacing, and confidence without progressing too quickly.
NeuroWalkโข may support people with walking, balance, coordination, weakness, or endurance changes after brain injury through gait practice, strengthening, functional movement, and individualized mobility training.
Neurological physiotherapy may support strength, balance, walking, transfers, coordination, and daily mobility after stroke. Activities are selected around current abilities and meaningful functional goals.
The program may support balance, walking, leg strength, coordination, fatigue management, and mobility for people with multiple sclerosis. Sessions can be adjusted according to energy levels and changing symptoms.
Walking rehabilitation may address shorter steps, reduced arm swing, turning difficulty, balance changes, and movement hesitation. Rhythm, cueing, strength, and functional practice may be included when appropriate.
Reduced activity can lead to weakness, poor endurance, balance changes, and less confidence. Rehabilitation may help rebuild mobility gradually through strengthening, walking practice, transfers, and functional movement.
Your program may include pacing, graded walking, strength work, rest planning, and activity progression to help manage fatigue while supporting mobility and participation in everyday routines.
Stair practice may focus on leg strength, balance, foot placement, rail use, endurance, and coordination. Training is progressed according to safety, confidence, and the personโs home environment.
Yes. Training may address leg strength, forward weight shift, balance, posture, and movement sequencing to make standing from chairs, beds, toilets, and other surfaces more manageable.
Outdoor mobility training may include uneven surfaces, slopes, curbs, direction changes, obstacles, different walking speeds, and endurance to help prepare for community environments.
Functional training may combine walking with carrying bags, holding objects, talking, or completing another task. These activities help prepare for the demands of home and community mobility.
Turning is used constantly during daily life and requires balance, coordination, foot placement, and trunk control. Practising different turning strategies may improve confidence and movement efficiency.
When appropriate, sessions may practise floor transfers using strength, balance, positioning, and step-by-step movement strategies to support greater confidence during everyday activities.
Home exercises may include leg strengthening, balance practice, stepping, sit-to-stand activities, walking drills, or endurance work. Your program should match your mobility level and home environment.
Practice frequency depends on fatigue, mobility, health, and goals. Shorter, regular sessions may be more manageable than long workouts, especially when neurological symptoms fluctuate.
Family members can encourage safe practice, help with routines, attend appointments, observe mobility changes, and support independence without doing every task for the person.
Bring comfortable clothing, supportive footwear, relevant medical information, medication details, and any mobility equipment you regularly use. Think about the walking activities that currently feel difficult.
Progress may be reviewed through walking distance, speed, balance, transfers, endurance, step quality, confidence, functional tasks, and the personโs ability to manage everyday mobility.
Mobility may continue changing with consistent practice, suitable exercise, activity, and follow-up care. Progress varies between people and may involve endurance, confidence, efficiency, or greater participation in daily life.
