There are several traditional and nontraditional strategies available for the
rehabilitation of ambulatory limitations in adults with central neurologic
disorders. Traditional strategies may include therapies such as exercise training
and conventional gait training. Nontraditional rehabilitation strategies
typically involve advanced therapeutic technologies or devices. We describe
several ambulatory rehabilitation strategies providing advantages, disadvantages,
and common applications of these modalities. Feasibility, cost effectiveness,
accessibility, and training specificity of the various modalities are also
compared. Rehabilitation strategies should be selected based on the specific
ambulatory impairments and rehabilitation needs of each patient.
