LokoHelp - the young girl and the sea |
Ronja, our little patient on the sail, is overjoyed.  Not only because she is carried by the wind like a feather, but also and especially because she is motivated to walk with the LokoHelp with easiness.
Ronja is incentive for thousands of children - but also for adults, who must relearn walking.
We wish Ronja furthermore much power and the easiness - like she is expressing it on the sail.

We are very pleased, that we have been given the opportunity to supply our therapy-system WOODWAY-LokoStation with treadmill and LokoHelp gait trainer “Pedago” to the university-hospital Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. We are very impressed from the fundraising campaign “Leser-helfen (newspaper-readers help)” for the Gengenbacher Förderverein “Neurokinder Freiburg” initiated by the German newspaper “Mittelbadische Presse”. The helpfulness of the numerous donators was overwhelming and enabled the Neuropediatric-Department of the Centre for children- and adolescence-medicine at the university hospital to work with our effective therapy system and to treat young and old patients. With the total fund of EUR 131.000 not only the LokoHelp therapy-system could be purchased but even a new place of employment could be financed. The salary of one new physiotherapist is ensured for one year already. “The spark striked” and also the Oberkircher Förderverein “krebskranke Kinder Freiburg (children who have cancer)“ is interested in the LokoHelp-training. Thus the Katarina-Witt-foundation has joined the campaign and has partially financed a second physiotherapist. LokoHelp – The Way To Walk! |

The Lokohelp Group participated as exhibitor at the annual conference of the DGNKN ((Deutsche Gesellschaft für Neurotraumatologie und Klinische Neurorehabilitation = German Association for Neurotraumatology and Clinical Neurorehabilitation) and the DGNR (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Neurorehabilitation = German Association for Neurorehabilitation) in Berlin in December 2009. We are very pleased about the great interest of the experts in the related field and would like to say thank you for the encouragement. The visitors could test our system by themselves what they did. The efficiency of the LokoHelp that was recognized was confirmed to us by positive statements. |
LokoHelp successful at the Medica trade-fair in Düsseldorf |
We have experienced again a huge interest in our LokoHelp gait trainer during the Medica trade fair 2009 in Duesseldorf, Germany. We would like to thank the large number of visitors of our booth as well as we thank for the suggestions for further improvement of our system. The simplicity but nevertheless the high efficiency of the patented LokoHelp as world innovation are unanimously called unique. What makes the LokoHelp so convincing is the fact that it is an endeffector-system. Better studies argue for endeffector-systems being more beneficial for the therapy outcome than an exoskeleton. Together with a treadmill with body weight support the LokoHelp gait trainer makes a sophisticated multifunctional therapy system at a excellent price-performance-ratio. The LokoHelp is easy to use and it allows a quick preparation of the patient for the therapy. The LokoHelp demands the patient’s self-control of knee- and hip-joints, if possible, which is in addition to the locomotion program also necessary for regaining independent walking ability. Hip- and knee-joints as well as the ventral and dorsal thigh musculature of the patient are all side accessible during the training at any time. Our therapy system is applicable for regaining the gait ability but also for improving gait ability as well as for training in the orthopaedic rehabilitation, ergometry, geriatrics and even for fitness-training. It is therefore a unique system for the wide range of treadmill therapy at a reasonable price. www.medica.de |
