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.

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.

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

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.

I found using the THERA-Trainer to be an excellent addition to my physiotherapy and occupational therapy sessions and so I decided to buy one for home use so that I could practise regularly from home alongside my necessary therapies.
