A locomotor training system, including device and methods of use, is provided. The locomotor training device is a simple mechanical device which includes a rigid supporting member coupled to the front-thigh side of a user's proximal lower extremity and a hinged member coupled to the lower extremity distal to the rigid supporting member. Manipulation of the device by an operator, in some cases facilitated by an adjustable handle, facilitates the user's normalization of joint mechanics associated with unimpaired ambulation while providing neuromuscular re-education and muscle strengthening.
