Zusammenfassung:	Body-weight support systems and treadmills also have been used to restore symmetrical independent gait in people after hip joint replacement,17 maintain conditioning while minimizing knee pain in people with osteoarthritis,18 and reduce loading on healing tissues and enable graduated return to full weight bearing in injured athletes19 and in people with low back pain.20 Because BWS systems and the treadmill, computers, and virtual reality technology are used under specific treatment frameworks to address a variety of rehabilitation goals, it seems counterintuitive to call an intervention "body-weight-supported treadmill training," "computer training," or "virtual reality therapy."
