Solo-Step® Balance Overhead Track System | New Braunfels TX

At Webb Physical Therapy Specialists, we use the Solo-Step® Balance Overhead Track System as part of our fall prevention, balance training, and gait rehabilitation programs. This advanced safety rail system allows patients to challenge balance, coordination, and walking mechanics without fear of falling, enabling faster progress in a controlled environment.

The Solo-Step Overhead Track System is a ceiling-mounted or rail-based safety harness system designed to:

• Prevent falls during therapy
• Allow hands-free balance training
• Enable earlier and more challenging gait activities
• Improve confidence with movement
• Unlike parallel bars or therapist guarding alone, Solo-Step provides continuous fall protection while allowing natural movement patterns.

Solo-Step–assisted physical therapy is beneficial for individuals who:

• Have balance deficits or unsteady walking
