1. A method of using a body weight support system to provide body weight support during gait training, the body weight support system including a tether configured to be coupled to an attachment device worn by a user to couple the user to the body weight support system, the method comprising:
defining a reference length of the tether when the attachment device is in an initial position;
providing a first amount of body weight support during the gait training as the user moves relative to a surface and the length of the tether is less than the threshold length of the tether;
providing a second amount of body weight support during the gait training as the user moves relative to the surface when (i) a length of the tether relative to the reference length is greater than a threshold length of the tether and (ii) a rate of change in the length of the tether for a predetermined duration is greater than a threshold rate of change; and
displaying data associated with the gait training on a display of an electronic device included in the body weight support system.
