Gait rehabilitation technique is growing exponentially as regaining functional gait is seen as a must for independent living in real-world scenarios. The various kinds of walking difficulties have urged the development of a broad spectrum of gait systems in neurological, medical, and traumatic diseases. Rehabilitation system is an important part of the therapy plan for patients suffering from movement disorders of the lower extremities. Basically, rehabilitation system helps patient body to function normally while improving the overall quality of life physically, emotionally, and socially. Most gait training systems are designed for acute and subacute neurological patients. Many techniques are used for relearning gait cycle training (functional gait training) or gait movements (nonfunctional training). Each system has its advantages and disadvantages in terms of functional outcomes. However, training gait cycle movements are insufficient for the rehabilitation of ambulation. Factors such as the increasing incidence of neurological disorders and the elevating number of sports injuries and orthopedic diseases cases boost the growth of the gait rehabilitation system market. However, the availability of alternate therapies and the lack of trained professionals hamper the growth of the market.

Elevating Number of Sports Injuries and Orthopedic Disease Cases

Sports injuries can damage the cartilage and ligaments of athletes. Rising cases of sports injuries among athletes is another key factor that boosts the demand for gait rehabilitation systems. According to a study published by Stanford Children’s Health in 2020, 30 million children and teenagers participate in sports events annually in the US, and ~3.5 million injuries are reported during these events. Further, the most common injuries observed among children and teenagers are sprains and strains. According to the National Safety Council (NSC) estimates, in 2017, 526,000 injuries were caused due to personal exercise, with or without equipment, in the US. Further, as per a study published by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), during 2018−2019, the US reported a significant rise in the participation of male students from high schools in soccer, wrestling, and tennis. It also stated that participation in school sports was at a peak during 2017−2018 in the US, for the first time in the past 30 years.

The prevalence and impact of these disorders are expected to rise with the increase in the aging population and rise in many risk factors associated with noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Further, osteoarthritis (OA), caused by the breakdown of joint cartilage between bones, is one of the most common joint disorders reported in the US. It is also known as degenerative joint disease or “wear and tear” arthritis. As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 32.5 million adults in the US suffer from OA. According to the National Health Service (NHS) data in December 2018, more than 10 million people in the UK have arthritis or similar conditions affecting joints. Gait rehabilitation systems are the primary therapy devices used by people from all age groups, generally without seeking a physician's prescription. Thus, the elevating number of people suffering from sports injuries and orthopedic diseases is contributing to the gait rehabilitation system market growth.
