Alex just started using the lokomat on Wednesday. It is this really cool robot type thing that helps keep her feet and legs in proper positioning while using the treadmill. They start the kids off supporting their body weight quite a bit, and gradually decrease the assistance as the weeks go on. She will be using the robot for ~30-45 min 3x a week. Alex thinks it is pretty cool. A little wikipedia snippet is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hocoma
