Gait training is a therapeutic intervention that focuses on improving the way an individual walks, helping to restore proper movement patterns and improve balance. It is commonly used for individuals with mobility impairments caused by conditions such as stroke, cerebral palsy, arthritis, or neurological disorders.

During gait training, patients practice walking with the guidance of a physical therapist who can provide feedback on posture, foot placement, stride length, and balance. The therapist may also use assistive devices like walkers, canes, or parallel bars to support the patient during training.

Gait training can improve mobility, reduce the risk of falls, and enhance independence, making it an essential part of rehabilitation for individuals who need assistance with walking or balance.
