Gait rehabilitation is crucial for individuals with motor coordination dysfunction, as supported by clinical evidence. Here are some key points supported by research:
Improved Functionality
Research indicates that structured gait training programs lead to significant enhancements in walking speed, endurance, balance, and overall mobility, thereby contributing to improved quality of life for patients.
Fall Prevention
Studies have demonstrated that targeted rehabilitation programs reduce the risk of falls by improving balance, coordination, and postural control.
Muscle Strength
Evidence suggests that targeted exercises and gait training regimes lead to increased muscle strength and endurance, facilitating better mobility and reduced fatigue during walking tasks.
Motor Learning
Through repetitive practice and task-specific training, the brain can rewire neural pathways, leading to improved motor function and walking ability.
Psychological Well-being
Participation in gait rehabilitation can positively impact psychological well-being. Research indicates that structured rehabilitation programs boost confidence, self-esteem, and mood among individuals with motor coordination dysfunction, reducing feelings of frustration and depression associated with limited mobility.
Long-Term Outcomes
Longitudinal studies have shown that continued participation in gait rehabilitation programs results in sustained improvements in walking ability and functional outcomes over time. This emphasizes the importance of ongoing rehabilitation and maintenance therapy to optimize long-term outcomes for individuals with motor coordination dysfunction.
What can cause motor coordination dysfunction?

Musculoskeletal Events
Who can help?
A physiotherapist is a great place to start. Parkinson’s UK are clear on the importance of a physio:
- Physiotherapy is crucial for Parkinson’s: it maintains mobility, manages daily movements, and assists independence.
- Physios specialize in long-term conditions, injuries, and illnesses, integral to multidisciplinary teams.
- Access via NHS or private clinics; early referral recommended for effective management.
- Tailored interventions focus on fitness, mobility, symptom management, and personalised exercise programs.
- Physios offer guidance for carers on safe assistance, body mechanics, mobility aids, and home modifications.
- Enables Parkinson’s patients to stay active, independent, and better manage condition challenges.
- Collaboration among patients, carers, and healthcare professionals enhances quality of life.

QWalk in action
Q-Walk is a wearable medical device for gait training.
The device projects a laser light onto the ground.
This light acts as a guide for your next step.
With Q-Walk, you will always have a reference point in reaching independence of movement.
What does the App do?
The app firstly helps track the progress of QWalk. Manage your Q-Walk with guidance in the app, making product use quick and easy.
