In March, a new physical therapy technology was implemented at Mercy Health - St. Rita's Medical Center, and it has already transformed the way patients are rehabilitated. It is called the SafeGait 360, and it is only 1 of 3 available in the state. The overhead system provides support by reducing a patient's body weight by up to 50%. It will also catch them if they fall and constantly tracks movements. Both therapists and patients who use the system say it has improved their quality of care and recovery.
