The THERA-Trainer balo is a therapy device for safe, dynamic exercise of balance (postural control). It is suitable for patients who are unable to stand and was designed for daily use in clinics and therapy facilities as well as at home.Ideal for plenty of users, the standing and balancing exerciser is suitable for patients with risk of falling as well as for wheelchair users and patients in vegetative state. With this trainer, those with little or no core stability can exercise effectively and safely. Exercising when standing up makes breathing easier, stabilises the circulation and stimulates the metabolism. Thanks to its balance unit the dynamic trainer also enables those affected to maintain or improve their balance and mobility.
Motivating software
THERA-soft is a therapy and documentation software especially developed for THERA-Trainers of the product lines Cycling and Standing & Balancing. Depending on the setting of the treatment and the therapeutic goal, in combination with a THERA-Trainer the software provides numerous biofeedback illustrations and movement exercises that specifically support relearning motor skills and motivate patients to train with joy. An embedded patient database permits training control and the planning of interventions patient-focused as well as a detailed analysis and training evaluation during the course of treatment.
Train dynamically or staitcally
Two trainers in one. In 2003, standing was virtually reinvented when Thera developed the balance unit – "dynamic standing" was born. Dynamic standing is more of a challenge and thus much more motivating for the user. Dynamic standing exercises are always active exercises - which is why therapists like this form of exercise so much. The balance unit is equipped with a spring element, whose resistance can be adapted to the patient or the therapy goal in multiple stages. The degree of movement (balance) is adjustable between 0, 6 and 11 degrees. The THERA-Trainer changes from a fixed standing frame (0 degrees) to a dynamic balance trainer (6 and 11 degrees).
Opitimally positioned
The quick forefoot and heel quick securing systems that can be flexibly positioned on the tread surface are highly practicable. These securing systems can be individually arranged in accordance with the training objective. It is possible, for example, to do exercises in step or parallel position, or standing on one leg. The antislip tread surface prevents patients from losing their footing. Securing systems and tread surfaces are wear-resistant, washable and can be disinfected.
Knee and Pelvic support
The THERA-Trainer balo is equipped with a set of knee supports to secure the legs at the front and side. The supports can be used separately, depending on the user's needs and therapy goal. Naturally, the supports are cushioned, and the height, distance and depth are adjustable.The same applies to the pelvic support set. This set of knee supports also consists of individual cushions whose distances and depths are adjustable so that every user can have optimal "contact" with the training device for dynamic training. Safety bolts for the pelvic supports set ensure double safety when training. An individually adjustable upper body support is available for patients in vegetative state, for example.
Electric lift
In accordance with the dose-response principle, the more often the exercise equipment is used, the more effective it will be. So that the severely affected or wheelchair users can use the THERA-Trainer balo every day, it is equipped with an electric lift. The electric lift was developed to be able to get into the trainer without difficulty. Here a belt is attached to the user in the wheelchair and connected to the electric lift. Now you can use the remote control to start the motor and gently place the user in an upright position in the THERA-Trainer balo.
