Gait

The THERA-Trainer lyra is a static electromechanical gait trainer that works according to the end-effect principle. This means that two motor-driven flow plates simulate the natural walking pattern and thus enable high-intensity, repetitive gait training for neurological and geriatric patients.
 

There are different investment models for the THERA-Trainer lyra. The price also varies depending on the equipment and accessories. We will gladly advise you to find out which configuration you need and make you an individual offer. 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 lyra is especially used in the following settings:
 

• Hospitals
• Stroke units
• Inpatient rehabilitation clinics
• Outpatient rehabilitation centers
• MS centers
• Long term care facilities
• Elderly care homes
• Gyms

The THERA-Trainer tigo 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 able to mobilise out of bed. However, they do not have to be able to stand or walk independently. But they need to be able to sit and rest in supported standing for prolonged periods without significant circulatory decline. The patient is secured against falls by a belt during the entire treatment process. However, an indication for training should always first be determined by the physician or therapist and subsequently accompanied.
 

There are several benefits associated with THERA-Trainer lyra electromechanical gait training:

Enhanced motor recovery: Gait training with the THERA-Trainer lyra can help individuals relearn and improve their walking ability following neurological conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injury, or brain injury. The repetitive, task-specific movements facilitated by these devices can stimulate neuroplasticity and promote motor recovery.

Improved gait pattern and coordination: THERA-Trainer lyra can assist in correcting abnormal gait patterns and promoting more efficient and coordinated walking. The gait trainer provides support, stability, and guidance during the walking process, helping individuals regain a more natural gait.

Increased walking speed and endurance: Gait training with the THERA-Trainer lyra can help individuals gradually increase their walking speed and endurance over time. By providing controlled support and reducing the effort required for walking, the device allows for longer training sessions and the ability to challenge and improve cardiovascular fitness.

Reduced risk of falls: By providing support and stability, electromechanical gait training with lyra can reduce the risk of falls during gait training sessions. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with balance impairments or those who are at a higher risk of falls due to their condition.

Customizable assistance: THERA-Trainer lyra offers adjustable levels of assistance, allowing therapists to tailor the amount of support provided to each individual’s specific needs. This adaptability enables a progressive training program, gradually reducing the assistance as the person’s walking ability improves.

Increased motivation and engagement: THERA-Trainer lyra incorporates interactive features and feedback mechanisms, making the training sessions more engaging and motivating. This can help individuals stay focused, committed, and motivated throughout their rehabilitation process.

It is important to note that the specific benefits of electromechanical gait training may vary depending on the individual’s condition, the device used, and the guidance of a trained healthcare professional. Each person’s rehabilitation program should be tailored to their specific needs and goals.
 

THERA-Trainer lyra is simple, effective and affordable. The gait trainer has been developed in such a way that all features are geared towards quick setup and maximum usability. Complex additional features, which cost a lot of money and usually offer little added value, have been deliberately omitted. Patients who depend on an electromechanical gait trainer only have one goal: to be able to walk again. And that is exactly what lyra optimally supports patients and therapists to do.
 

The THERA-Trainer lyra can be a valuable component of a THERA-Trainer complete solution in many clinical and non-clinical settings and can be excellently combined with products of our Cycling and Standing & Balancing 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.

However, instead of arguing with a package deal here, we prefer to tailor your individual THERA-Trainer solution according to your specific needs and circumstances. 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.
