Opening of the Gait Continuum with THERA-Trainer training equipment at the Passauer Wolf Reha-Zentrum in Bad Griesbach
The opening of the innovative Gait Continuum was celebrated on 9 October 2024 at Passauer Wolf Reha-Zentrum in Bad Griesbach. Among the many guests were Jürgen Fundke, First Mayor of Bad Griesbach, as well as Dieter Weinzierl, Rehabilitation Centre Director. After the welcome by Dr Oliver Meier, Medical Director and Chief Physician of Neurology and Geriatrics, visitors were able to experience the state-of-the-art gait therapy equipment in action and meet the therapy team.
At the heart of the new therapy room is the end-effector gait trainer THERA-Trainer lyra, which sets new standards in gait rehabilitation with its advanced robot-assisted technology. With the aim of sustainably improving the mobility and quality of life of patients, the Gait Continuum offers a variety of state-of-the-art equipment that is individually tailored to patient needs.

“The Gait Continuum is a great asset to our therapeutic work. The close integration of people and technology opens up completely new perspectives for gait therapy. Robot-assisted therapy equipment improves patient mobility and performance in a targeted way and can be individually adapted to patient needs,” says Barbara Göttert, Head of Therapy at Passauer Wolf.
The THERA-Trainer lyra is particularly impressive with its ability to simulate natural gait movements, thereby stimulating patients’ muscle memory. Adjustable weight relief means that even immobile patients can train up to 100 steps per minute – an intensity that
would be barely achievable without technological support.

Another highlight of modern rehabilitation technology at Passauer Wolf Reha-Zentrum is
the interactive training equipment THERA-Trainer senso. This equipment combines cognitive and motor exercises, which not only en-
hances physical performance but also promotes mental capacity and significantly reduces the risk of falls. Mayor Fundke, who tested the equipment himself at the opening ceremony, congratulated the team at Passauer Wolf, which is known for its expertise in this field and “puts Bad Griesbach firmly on the map”.

The future of rehabilitation: people and technology in harmony
In his speech, Dr Oliver Meier emphasised the importance of technical innovations for modern rehabilitation medicine. “Technological innovations are an essential part of modern rehabilitation medicine. Our patients benefit from this valuable combination of advanced technology and human expertise – this enables visible progress and supports them on their journey back to a self-determined life.”
The close partnership with THERA-Trainer underlines the commitment of Passauer Wolf to make rehabilitation processes more efficient and sustainable through the use of advanced technologies such as the THERA-Trainer lyra and senso. Regional broadcaster Niederbayern TV was also at the opening ceremony of the Gait Continuum and their report is available online in German under the title Innovatives Therapieangebot: Eröffnung des »Gangkontinuums« im Passauer Wolf Reha-Zentrum (Innovative therapy offering: Opening of the Gait Continuum at Passauer Wolf Reha-Zentrum).
