Unweighting in Pool
I am a patient in a W/C considering whether to try weight bearing in a pool or with a Lite Gait machine.
I have been told the later can support about 50% of my body weight of 175 pounds.
I would like to know how much of my body would be unweighted in 4 feet of water.
Can you help me, please?
Thank You
