The apparatus provides a proper step width for patients during gait training with neurological disorders, such as spasticity or paraparesis of the lower extremities. The apparatus provides proprioceptive feedback through the ankles during gait training with an assistive device (cane, walker, or parallel bars). The apparatus can be adjusted to different step widths depending on the patient and the physical therapist's recommendation. The result would be an improvement in the patient's gait pattern over time (with less risk of injury to the patient) and an improvement in the method used by the physical therapist for gait training for this problem.
