Back on your feet again – state-of-the-art technology restoring the ability to walk
After a serious accident or illness such as brain haemorrhages and strokes, most of those affected first have to learn to walk and talk again. Besides the loss of speech, walking upright is one of the biggest
challenges in rehabilitation.

But the latest technology can help here. With this in mind, the “Physiotherapie am Sakura-Bad” has purchased the THERA-Trainer lyra in cooperation with the REHA-HAUS. With the end-effector walking trainer, intensive training at the performance limit is aimed for in every phase of rehabilitation. The main goal of the training is to enable those affected to find their way back into a self-determined everyday life.
Specifically, it’s all about:
– regaining the ability to walk,
– increasing walking speed,
– improving stamina and gait.
The device generates the human walking pattern through a patented mechanism that can be individually adapted to each patient. Training should feel like natural walking.

The natural but mechanically supported walking movement is intended to recall the resident’s “muscle memory”. This increases the chance of rehabilitation of the ability to walk.
The number of repetitions is also important for the effectiveness of the training. In this area, the THERA-Trainer lyra is clearly superior to conventional treadmill or manual gait training.
The direct ground-level access allows quick and easy transfer, even for patients with severe disabilities. The settings, such as step length, height of the handrails and weight relief, can also be adapted to the respective resident in no time at all. After the gait trainer has been adjusted to the patient, all of the important training parameters are displayed on the touch screen and can be configured accordingly.

Training from bed with the THERA-Trainer bemo
In addition to the THERA-Trainer lyra, REHA-HAUS has also purchased the THERA-Trainer bemo. A movement exerciser for circular passive, assistive or active movement of the arms and legs. The device can specifically promote mobility in bedridden and severely affected patients. In this device, the resident’s feet are fixed in a special footrest. The legs are set in motion by a motor, just like when riding a bicycle.
The goals of this therapy are:
– to stabilise pulmonary functions,
– to reduce complications in intensive care,
– to activate the metabolism and
– to improve the resident’s functionality.
In principle, this is also intended to optimise the degree of alertness in order to rehabilitate the affected person as quickly as possible after the acute phase – i.e. shortly after the accident or illness.
