Software

THERA-soft is THERA-Trainer’s flagship software, specially designed for therapy planning, training, evaluation and documentation. The software can be easily connected to most THERA-Trainer products. A patient database enables therapists to create individual training programmes, and a variety of therapeutic games allow patients to work persistently on their therapy goals in virtual worlds with a high level of motivation. Thanks to consistent data collection, reports can be used to draw conclusions about improvements and outcomes.
 

Any THERA-soft solution consists of the THERA-soft software itself, associated hardware (computer and display, e.g., TV or a tablet) and a THERA-Trainer Cycling or Standing & Balancing device that is offers the actual therapy. We offer different packages and bundles depending on the area of application. Please get in touch with us. We will be happy to make you an individual offer.
 

THERA-soft is compatible with all Cycling and Standing & Balancing products – the only exception is the THERA-Trainer senso, which has its own special software solution. For the Standing & Balancing products, older devices can easily be retrofitted with an appropriate sensor. For cycling products, the control and display unit may have to be replaced on older machines. Use our free compatibility check to determine whether your device is already THERA-soft connectable or contact our support. We will be happy to help you here.
 

The THERA-soft is used wherever THERA-Trainers are used. Especially 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

The THERA-soft can generally be 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.

Since THERA-soft is always paired with a THERA-Trainer Cycling or Standing & Balancing device, the indications mainly depend on the device it is combined with.

THERA-soft itself does not require any particular activity level. Since it is a software with predominantly visual therapy games and feedbacks, sufficient perception and visual ability must be present. The difficulty levels of the applications can then be individually adapted to the patient’s abilities. Many applications, such as the video routes, can also be used with patients with impaired cognitive abilities and dementia to promote motivation and enjoyment of exercise.
 

The interactive video games in the THERA-soft that require physical movement have gained popularity in the field of rehabilitation. They can be used as a tool that supports device training to help individuals recover from various physical and cognitive conditions. The therapy goals associated with the exergames in rehabilitation can vary depending on the specific needs of the individual and the condition being addressed and obviously depend on the device that the software is combined with. However, some common therapy goals include:
 

Physical rehabilitation: Exercises can be used to improve strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination. Therapy goals may focus on increasing range of motion, improving muscle strength, enhancing postural control, and developing overall physical fitness.
 

Motor skill development: Therapy can help individuals practice and refine motor skills. Therapy goals may involve improving fine motor skills, gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, motor planning, and motor sequencing.
 

Cardiovascular conditioning: Training that involve aerobic activities, such as virtual cycling or dancing, can be used to improve cardiovascular fitness and endurance. Goals may include increasing heart rate, improving lung capacity, and enhancing overall cardiovascular health.
 

The advantage of THERA-soft, compared to other stand alone therapy applications, is that the programs are fully interoperable with THERA-Trainers. This means that the training parameters and motion sensor data are transferred to the software in real time. This allows interactive therapy games to be specifically adapted to the patient’s performance level and controlled and adjusted at any time. In addition, the therapy applications are explicitly designed for motor learning and the improvement of specific body functions. Another advantage is that all movement data of the therapy sessions is recorded and stored, which enables later progress evaluations and analyses. Raw data and training results can also be seamlessly exchanged with other systems via a data interface for research and documentation purposes.
 

THERA-soft plays a special role in connection with the THERA-Trainer complete solutions, as the software connects the individual training devices and provides the basis for a structured application and evaluation of all training results.

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.
 

A connection of other training devices to the THERA-soft is possible under certain conditions. The THERA-soft has a corresponding data interface (API) that can be used for this purpose. This has already made it possible in the past to integrate other devices and specific training programs into the THERA-soft. Feel free to contact us if you see a need here and have special wishes. We are always open to discuss these with you.
 

THERA-Trainer’s award-winning support team is always at your side to help with all questions. From advice on the appropriate THERA-Trainer in the right configuration, to financing and reimbursement options, as well as assistance if something doesn’t work the way you want it to. The only thing we wish is, get in touch with us. We are looking forward to hear from you.
