Inventor, Katherine Haik, and Ashley Williams present a new medical-fitness exercise tool that helps people with imbalance learn to walk more confidently.WHY GAIT TRAINING?Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries for older adults. They are expensive and can cause a spiral of decline, often leading to institutionalization. Neuromuscular re-education and gait training is an important, but often overlooked, modality for use in falls and balance therapy, as well as, brain injuries, musculoskeletal disorders, post-surgical therapy, and injury rehab.How we walk is a complex phenomenon in which our whole body is performing a dance that has been ingeniously choreographed. Our visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems are constantly adjusting and interacting. These are autonomic functions, like walking, where most of the time we don’t need to think about how these systems are working.Gait speed is a vital sign that is described in the seven phases of the gait cycle, directly related to brain/body function. It is used as one of the measures for determining current health and independence.Gait training is a specific form of therapy that can improve walking and stance by focusing on balance and posture while adjusting position and increasing endurance.Gait rhythms and patterns can be retrained, improving gait efficiency, independence and confidence, which will decrease fear of falling and dynamic stability.Vizziq Neuromuscular Trainer is an evidence-based mobility and gait training tool that can easily be adapted to user size and function levels. Vizziq is an effective gait training tool that can be utilized during both healthy times and after injury or illness, for faster recovery.Speaker bios:Katherine Haik, the inventor of Vizziq Neuromuscular Trainer is a pioneer in the space of exercise science; a member of the first class in her University to obtain a Bachelor's of Science in Exercise Science. Though they were considered undergraduate students, the majority of their coursework was spent with the graduate level programs learning physiology, kinesiology, cardiac rehabilitation, chronic disease management, 12 lead EKG Exercise Stress Testing, Athletic Training and Sports Injury Therapy Techniques, Nutrition for Athletes, and Adaptive Aquatics. Katherine studied and performed competencies that included various modalities from aquatic therapies, stress management and Feldenkrais, to the Pilates method. Her experience in these modalities led to her identification of a significant gap in the medical device industry, overground neuromuscular gait training devices.Ashley Williams, CHPSE, PhD Candidate.

This episode is the audio recording of the most recent installment in the VeDA Video Education Series. The video recording is also available at https://youtu.be/QbY5XGPZim0Drs. Kathleen Stross and Danielle Tolman speak with Mark Knoblauch, PhD- author of several books written for vestibular patients BY a vestibular patient. His books were born out of his own research when he was afflicted with vestibular symptoms. Dissatisfied with the array of consumer books out there, he felt compelled to begin writing patient-focused books on vestibular disorders, diet, and exercise. Mark’s own experience with having multiple vestibular disorders will speak to all vestibular warriors, especially those with BPPV, Meniere’s disease, Vestibular Migraine, PPPD, and related symptoms. Mark’s background in sports medicine and interest in the scientific process led him to complete doctoral and post-doctoral training in kinesiology as well as molecular physiology and biophysics, all of which contribute to his unique perspective of what worked and did not work for his own vestibular symptoms. You don’t want to miss his consumer guides which outline the many trials and successes that he has encountered during his vestibular journey.You can purchase Mark's books here: http://www.authormk.com/vestibular-series/VeDA relies on your support to help vestibular patients on their journey to find a life rebalanced.
