When I was allowed to go home after rehab, I was able to use a THERA-Trainer straight away. I trained two to three times a day with the device and was able to walk independently again after a short time.

The lyra provides a very sporty workout. We used to manage 30 steps a day per patient on the treadmill with two physiotherapists. With the walking robot, people walk 1,000 steps a day. And at up to 4 km/h. So they also learn ambitious walking, for example to get through traffic lights quickly.

We were able to demonstrate that the pre-defined process was effective and generated a high level of patient motivation and satisfaction.

One advantage of training with the THERA-Trainer is that the training stimulus can be set sufficiently high and frequently at home, as it makes perfect sense to train daily or better three times a day.

Patients are highly motivated to train at their performance limits, incorporating all core elements of motor learning. We utilise this in individual and group settings, as well as in circuit training.
