In order to successfully accomplish walking with the ReWalk, considerable coordination between the upper extremity muscles in the trunk, arms, shoulder, back, neck, and head is needed in conjunction with dynamic standing balance. A specific pattern of trunk positioning, crutch placement and weight shifting is needed. To prepare for walking, the user must attain a stable standing position with the crutches placed slightly in front of him/her. To begin walking, the user must shift their weight onto the left foot to unweight the right foot. The right foot steps forward first, and this is initiated when the user slightly leans forward, by bringing the crutches forward, away from the stepping leg to allow it to swing forward and clear the floor. As the stepping leg moves forward and extends toward the ground, the user shifts weight forward, stepping onto that leg and then sequentially brings the crutches forward for the next step. Immediately after the weight is shifted, the user must straighten his/her posture with their body perpendicular to the ground before leaning forward to initiate the next step. This is similar to a normal walking pattern. As the leg contralateral to the initial step leg swings forward, the participant must shift the crutches away from that leg to allow it to step forward. This process is repeated for continued walking.
