Standing & Balancing

The THERA-Trainer balo is a unique standing frame, because it has a patented balance unit that allows not only static standing, but also dynamic standing with weight shifting. Due to its special design, the THERA-Trainer balo allows even patients who are unable to stand in the early phase of rehabilitation to receive targeted training in postoral control and balance in a fall-safe environment.
 

Depending on the configuration and required accessories, the costs for a THERA-Trainer balo can vary. We will gladly advise you to find out which configuration you need and make you an individual offer. For training at home, in some countries, the balo is reimbursed by health insurance companies. We’re also looking forward to advise you individually on this. As an alternative to purchasing, we also offer attractive rental and leasing models for our equipment.
 

This depends very much on the area of application and the patient clientele. Get in touch with us! Our clinical application specialists and product consultants have a lot of experience and can define the right setup with you based on your requirements.
 

The THERA-Trainer balo is especially used in the following settings:
 

• Hospitals (Acute & Intensive care)
• Stroke units
• Inpatient rehabilitation clinics
• Outpatient rehabilitation centers
• MS centers
• Long term care facilities
• Elderly care homes
• Gyms
• And of course, Home care.

The THERA-Trainer balo is used by patients with the following clinical conditions and indications:

• Stroke (apoplexy, hemiplegia, cerebral haemorrhage)
• Parkinson’s disease
• Multiple sclerosis (MS)
• Paraplegia (paraplegia, tetraplegia)
• Muscle diseases (muscular dystrophy, muscular atrophy)
• Craniocerebral injuries
• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
• Apallic syndrome (coma vigil, aphasia)
• Infantile cerebral palsy
• Polio syndrome
• Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS)
• Polyneuropathy (e.g. due to canal spinal stenosis)
• Rheumatism, arthrosis, arthritis
• Knee and hip TEP
• and for many other clinical pictures with movement restrictions.

Patients must at least be mobilised out of bed. However, they do not have to be able to stand independently. They should be able to sit for prolonged periods without significant circulatory decline. Mobilisation to standing position can be performed without effort with the assistance of an electrical lift-up system. The patient is secured against falls by a belt during the entire standing process. However, an indication for training should always first be determined by the physician or therapist and subsequently accompanied.
 

THERA-Trainer balo is a device specially designed for balance and pre-gait rehabilitation. It is often used in physiotherapy treatment to improve patients’ balance and stability. Here are some typical therapy goals that are pursued with the THERA-Trainer balo:

Increasing stability: By training on the THERA-Trainer balo, patients can strengthen their trunk muscles and the muscles in their lower extremities. This helps improve stability and helps increase control over the body during movements.

Improving postural control and balance ability: The THERA-Trainer balo aims to improve patients’ balance. Through specific training on the device, patients can learn to better control their balance and increase their stability. This can help prevent falls and regain confidence in their balance.

Pre-Gait rehabilitation: The THERA-Trainer balo can also be used to improve patients’ ability to walk. By training on the device, gait patterns can be practiced and coordination of the legs and trunk can be improved. This can be particularly helpful for patients with neurological conditions or after injury.

Fall prevention: An important therapy goal with the THERA-Trainer balo is fall prevention. By training on the device, patients can learn to better maintain their balance and improve their responsiveness. This can help reduce the risk of falls and increase confidence in one’s balance.

Improving functional mobility: The THERA-Trainer balo aims to improve patients’ functional mobility. This includes the ability to perform everyday activities safely and independently, such as standing, walking and negotiating obstacles.

It is important to note that therapy goals should be individualised to each patient’s needs and abilities. The exact goals are set in consultation with the treating therapist to ensure targeted and effective rehabilitation.
 

THERA-Trainer balo is by far the device in the Standing & Balancing product line, that can be used most widely. Thanks to the electric lift-up system, patients who are unable to stand can be mobilised easily and safely – even from the edge of the bed or from a wheelchair. At the same time, the THERA-Trainer balo offers all possibilities for dynamic training of postural control and balance while standing – thanks to the patented balance unit. In comparison, the THERA-Trainer verto is a purely static standing trainer and the THERA-Trainer coro is more suited for patients who can already stand with assistance but need a fall-safe environment for training.
 

The special feature of the THERA-Trainer balo is the patented balance unit. Most standing frames on the market only allow static verticalisation in a rigid standing frame. The THERA-Trainer balo, on the other hand, can move 360 degrees in all directions by shifting weight, thus enabling a targeted movement of the body’s center of gravity above the support surface. During therapy, the patient can move in a safe environment at all times and is secured against falls.
 

The THERA-Trainer balo can be a valuable component of a THERA-Trainer complete solution in many clinical and non-clinical settings and can be excellently combined with other products from the Standing & Balancing line, as well as with products of our Cycling and Gait line.

With our THERA-Trainer complete solution, we help you transform our THERA-Trainer devices into an evidence-based, clinically proven treatment concept for lower extremities. The use of our THERA-Trainers simplifies therapists’ work, maximises patients’ outcomes and can be implemented economically and sustainably.

We agree on milestones and KPIs together. And we take our time for analysis, planning and implementation. Contact us and let our specialists advise you individually.
 

Of course. Naturally, THERA-Trainer products are perfectly matched in terms of their functionality and interoperability. But they can also be used in combination with other existing equipment or equipment from a different manufacturer. Depending on the specific use case, this may even make sense. We have close collaborations with some manufacturers of other products, which allows you to benefit from special offers and bundled deals. Get in touch with us. We would be happy to provide information on this and share our experience from customer projects.
