The SureStep Program at We Care in Hayden, ID is a balance and fall-prevention protocol built around a pneumatic unweighting track. It lets patients — including those recovering from stroke or managing neurological conditions — retrain balance and gait safely with overhead support, eliminating the fear and risk of falling.

About the SureStep Program

SureStep is We Care's dedicated balance and gait-retraining program. Its centerpiece is a pneumatic unweighting track that supports your body weight from above, creating a fall-proof environment to rebuild stability.

Who it's for

  • Older adults at risk of falling
  • Stroke and neurological recovery
  • People who avoid activity due to fear of falling
  • Unsteadiness after illness or long inactivity

How We Care treats with this program

The program assesses the systems behind your unsteadiness, then trains balance and gait in a fully supported setting so you can push your limits without risk.

Pneumatic unweighting track

Overhead body-weight support that makes balance training completely fall-safe.

Balance & fall-risk assessment

Identifies the strength, sensory, and vestibular factors to target.

Gait retraining

Rebuilds a confident, stable walking pattern.

Progressive strengthening

Develops the leg strength and control that sustain balance.

What to expect

Patients typically build measurable balance and confidence over several weeks. Because the track removes fall risk, progress is often faster than patients expect.

Frequently asked questions

Who is the SureStep Program for?

It's designed for anyone at elevated fall risk — older adults, people recovering from stroke or neurological conditions, and those whose fear of falling has limited their activity.

How does the unweighting track keep me safe?

The pneumatic system supports a portion of your body weight from above, so even if you lose your balance you cannot fall. That safety is what lets you train at the edge of your ability and improve quickly.
