Locomotion Therapy



   Symposium October 4-7 2000  



This site deals with Laufband (locomotion, treadmill) therapy LBT,
a rather novel approach to rehabilitation of spinal cord injured persons
with incomplete paralysis. In some places it is also in use for stroke patiens
.

 

Information

 

 

 

We will roughly describe the way LBT works and have a brief glimpse on why it does so.
For those who are interested in the scientific background of our work, we have collected some of our publications on the subject.References to other work can be found there.

 

Valutation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Laufband therapy is neither suited for every case of rehabilitation after spinal cord injuries, nor will it have satisfactory effects in case of complete paralysis. In order to valutate the chances and to determine whether or not a patient might profit from LBT, we have developed a questionnaire, which interested persons can fill in and send to us electronically. It is available in English, Italian, and German.
The personal and medical data provided thus will allow Dr A. Wernig, MD to judge the situation and the chances of a possible therapy.
Unless Dr. Wernig responds by e-mail, you are invited to call two weeks after you sent us your questionnaire.

All this is a service to the public and is currently free of charge.
