The device-supported gait laboratory at the Aatal Clinic Wünnenberg provides patients with brain damage with an effective measure of evidence-based gait rehabilitation. A treatment algorithm synthesizes suitable training programs; participants are categorized according to assessment and train in small groups in a goal-oriented manner.

Felix Platter Hospital relies on state-of-the-art methods not only in diagnostics, but also in therapy. For almost two years, the end-effector gait trainer lyra has been used in gait rehabilitation, allowing therapists and patients to benefit from the advantages of modern gait rehabilitation robotics.

I opted for the THERA-Trainer because, above all, it has a secure stand, is easy to use and doesn’t take up too much space.

Robot-assisted training has been a domain of gait rehabilitation for some time. It has to be said: the technology has no value in itself for rehabilitation. But for therapists and patients, it would be much more costly to achieve the same result with conventional therapy.

I can only advise those who have similar illnesses to also get a THERA-Trainer.
