The Unweighing System is a clinical-grade partial body weight support (PBWS) device that enables safe, effective, and therapist-accessible early gait rehabilitation by offloading a prescribed percentage of a patient's body weight — allowing physiotherapists to focus on facilitating correct lower limb mechanics rather than managing patient safety and falls. Combining a dynamic single-point pelvic suspension system with electric height adjustment, both treadmill and overground compatibility, sit-to-stand capability, and unilateral/bilateral body weight measurement, the Unweighing System is designed for hospital rehabilitation departments, neurological rehabilitation centres, gait laboratories, and specialist physiotherapy clinics working with patients across the full spectrum of mobility impairment.

Electric Height Adjustment — Battery & Mains Operation

Dual Power Operation — Battery & Mains — The system operates on both battery power and mains electrical connection, providing.

Height adjustment is electrically powered, enabling the clinician to precisely and effortlessly raise or lower the suspension height to match each patient's anthropometry, the desired degree of offloading, and the transition between sitting, standing, and ambulation positions — without manual effort or tool-based adjustment that could interrupt a training session.

180kg Patient Lift Capacity — The system safely lifts and supports patients up to 180kg body weight.

Locking Castor Wheels — Four locking castors enable the system to be freely moved between treatment areas, patient bays, and therapy rooms when unlocked.

Simultaneous Control of Weight Bearing, Posture & Balance

The Unweighing System simultaneously addresses three interdependent rehabilitation demands that conventional PBWS approaches address in isolation:

Weight Bearing Control — The prescribed percentage of body weight offloading is applied continuously throughout the training session, with unilateral and bilateral measurement capability enabling independent assessment and loading of each lower limb — critical for hemiplegia and asymmetric impairment presentations where each leg requires individual management.

Posture Control — The harness system provides postural trunk support that enables the therapist to redirect all their clinical attention to facilitating lower limb mechanics — without needing to simultaneously manage trunk collapse, balance loss, or fall risk. This postural support enables earlier upright training than would be possible with manual support alone.

Balance Management — The suspension system provides a continuous safety envelope that prevents falls while allowing the patient to experience and respond to balance perturbations within their supported range — training the balance responses required for unsupported gait without the risk of injury from falls.
