LEXO: The Robotic Gait Trainer

The LEXO®, a new state-of-the art robotic gait training device, is only available in Australia at Advance Rehab Centre. Bringing together the best from traditional gait training and the latest in robotic technology, the LEXO® is revolutionising gait rehabilitation for those presenting with stroke, brain or spinal cord injury, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, Cerebral Palsy and many other neurological conditions.

The LEXO® works by creating a highly intensive, focused and motivating training environment that helps to improve walking ability, speed, endurance and independence. The LEXO® enables you to get more stepping practice in your session, at a higher intensity and in lots of different simulated walking environments.

What makes the LEXO® so effective is its end-effector mechanical design. Instead of restricting movement at the joints like in many other styles of robotic gait trainer, the lower limbs have the freedom to drive movement from the foot. This allows for a more natural walking pattern and increased activity around the ankle, knee and hip joints. The in-built sensors and force plates provide real-time feedback and adjustments to the dynamic body weight support system which enable precision prescription and adaptation during the gait cycle.

The LEXO® supports a more effective return to walking and at a higher quality.

The LEXO® is used as a key component of our Stand. Walk. Run. program when goals are based on increasing walking independence, distance, speed and quality. Following an eligibility assessment, most people will build up capacity and time on the device over time and as their ability improves. The LEXO® is incredibly accommodating and can be used by people wearing most orthotics and with moderate amounts of spasticity and contracture.

Melissa Harrison

BSc (hons) Physiotherapy, University of the West of England, UK
Msc Neurorehabilitation, Brunel University, UK

Allied Health Manager and Senior Neurological Physiotherapist

Melissa has worked in the field of neuro physiotherapy since early in her career. She specialised as a senior neuro physiotherapist in the UK for a number of years - working across a variety of specialities including neurosurgery, neuro medicine, stroke and both inpatient and outpatient neuro rehab. This experience has given Melissa a solid understanding of the journey people go through from receiving their initial neurological diagnosis, through to much later stages of their rehab.

Melissa went on to complete a Masters in Neurorehabilitation in London, gaining valuable analytical and research experience and completing her own research project exploring the rehabilitation services available to people with brain tumours. Melissa has a special interest in neuro-oncology, as well as stroke and a wide range of post neurosurgery and neuro medical conditions. This experience led to her being invited to review and contribute to the Cancer Council's 'Understanding Brain Tumours' information booklet in Australia in 2019.

It is her time working as a physiotherapist at ARC that motivated Melissa further to remain living in Australia! Over her time working at ARC, Melissa has become a PD Warrior certified instructor and trainer - delivering practical courses to other allied health professionals across Australia.

As Allied Health Manager, Melissa leads and oversees the ARC service on a daily basis. She loves her job for continuing to have contact with clients and seeing their progress, and simultaneously developing the ARC team as it grows. Melissa enjoys supporting the team through change and growth, ensuring the highest quality of therapy is maintained, as well as the team culture that staff and clients thrive from at ARC. Melissa can be contacted at ARC Monday to Friday and welcomes feedback on the service clients are receiving.

Outside of work, Melissa enjoys ocean swimming, tending to her rapidly growing plant family and making the most of the abundance of beautiful walks Sydney has to offer!
