Woodway LokoStation

Woodway LokoStation

The Woodway LokoStation is a static/dynamic body weight support system with two-point suspension which is used for manual locomotion therapy. The purpose of the LokoStation is to support treadmill training for the therapy of patients with walking difficulties with cerebral, spinal, neurogenic, muscular or osseous causes.

Woodway LokoStation Features

During the patient’s gait cycle the center of gravity moves in a sinusoidal curve. Depending on the therapy requirements the body weight support system provides for
either static or dynamic weight relief

Static Support

With static body weight support, the height of the support ropes is fixed. Due to the lowering of the center of gravity during the gait cycle, the patient carries more of his own body weight in the standing phase than in the swing phase.

Dynamic Support

With dynamic weight relief, the preset support weight provides for uniform support throughout the entire gait cycle, since the support weight always follows the vertical movement of the body’s center of gravity.

Additional Options

ELVETA

The ELVETA is a Lokostation option. The hand winch for raising and lowering the patient is replaced by an electric lift motor.

The lift motor, which is powered by batteries, controls the vertical movement in both directions. The supplied charging unit is used to charge the batteries. The batteries are provided for lowering of the patient in case of power failure, or if the charge falls below the voltage limit (total discharge). If the lift function is not used
for more than 3 minutes, it switches into an idle state.

The unit is controlled using the remote control.

The ELVETA is equipped with an electrical switch for the emergency lowering system. The emergency lowering system is necessary to ensure controlled lowering in case of hand switch failure or direct electric motor operation of the lifting and lowering support.

The ELVETA is equipped with a two-sided rope length adjustment. This makes the change and correction of the relief geometry possible, as well as optimization of the
maximum patient size. Using the rope length adjustment the rope length can be adjusted by approx. 40cm.

Patient Harness

Model, VENUS sizes S, M, L or XL.

Patient harnesses serve to support body weight and to prevent falls. The bodyweight support unit allows the patient to be suspended in a vertical position while
maintaining the maximum possible leg mobility. The entire weight of the suspended person can be supported by the body weight support unit and the load on the legs
can be increased or decreased. The leg mobility at the hip, knee and ankle area is maintained without significant restriction. For the LokoStation harnesses are available for adults in four sizes and for children in two different sizes.

Weight indicator

Two digital weight indicators for static weight support.

Platform for wheelchair ramp

Level platform, 50 cm long, for extending the inclined wheelchair ramp.

Longer wheelchair ramp

Wheelchair ramp with railing, 206 cm long, (incline approx. 10°= approx. 17.6%).

Harness fastener for front crossbar

Elastic band with two carabiners

Height reduction

If you have low ceiling is lower than 2.85cm, there is an option for a Height reduction, we must be informed of this when purchasing.
