GRAIL, a gait training lab developed by Motekforce Link, is a complete package solution for the rehabilitation of pathological gait patterns in patients suffering from neuromuscular and neurological problems.

GRAIL (Gait Real-time Analysis Interactive Lab) is an advanced rehabilitation solution that offers a full range of features needed for a successful gait therapy program, including functional gait analysis and gait training. Developed by Motekforce Link, the trainer uses an instrumented dual-belt treadmill, three video cameras, motion capture technology and virtual reality environments to immerse patients in the rehabilitation process, empower them to perform therapeutic exercises, and provide them with feedback and analysis of their performance and progress.

GRAIL helps patients improve dynamic stability and gait adaptability through a series of exercises performed on a self-paced treadmill surrounded by giant screens displaying virtual environments. The system uses clinical protocols and combines them with an extensive range of training options to deliver a faster and more effective rehabilitation process.

The virtual environments and the treadmill are synchronised and allow patients to move at their own pace, immersing them in natural environments and measuring all their gait parameters. The technology can simulate walking uphill and downhill, and the use of virtual environments enables clinicians to challenge patients with visual and cognitive tasks while they are on the treadmill. This allows clinicians to measure changes in the gait pattern and identify compensation strategies or assess the patient's dynamic stability. Once they have completed the gait analysis, clinicians can start a training session to address any problems discovered during the assessment.

GRAIL considerably facilitates gait analysis, a critical step in rehabilitation that is often limited to a small number of patients because it is complex, time consuming and expensive. With the gait lab, clinicians can track and analyse hundreds of steps taken by the patient in only a few minutes.

Motekforce Link specialises in developing innovative technologies that facilitate and speed up the rehabilitation process. The company's solutions are used for training and clinical analysis, and have a varied range of applications in rehabilitation, physical therapy, orthopedics and sports. They are mostly used in the treatment of movement, balance and locomotion disorders. The company was formed in July 2014 by the merger of Motek Medical and Force Link, two companies with more than 15 years of combined experience in rehabilitation technologies.
