Infinity Walk - A Physical Therapist’s Perspective |

Physical Therapy Topics
|
I nfinity Walk’s uninterrupted figure-eight pathway supports the rehabilitation process, from detailed finite skill development to gross motor endurance. The reciprocal walk pattern assists in functional practice of bilateral sensing; perceiving; rhythm, timing and pacing; attention; and the building of multi-tasking skill. Orthopedic limitations, movement discrepancies, performance blocks, and sensory-motor compensatory patterns can be isolated for intervention and retraining, refocusing treatment objectives, and functional progression. Infinity Walk also supports professional assessment of unilateral-bilateral gait; joint dysfunction and sensory-motor deficits.
