Rehabilitation in water offers unique advantages compared to other methods. The underwater treadmill is the next step in Physiotherapy. It offers the possibility to perform stationary walking exercises. In combination with a movable swimming pool floor the depth can be changed as per the requirement.
Our aquatic rehabilitation program consists of supervised exercises performed under water. Swimming is not a prerequisite skill. Patients can perform each exercise while standing in the water, holding onto the side of the pool or using a floating device. The water provides a safe and effective method for healing injuries, restoring patient confidence and increasing mobility with each completed exercise.
Its a safe way to perform running or other exercises after injuries or surgeries.

The h/p/cosmos Robowalk system is designed for the analysis and treatment of gait disorders in neurologic, orthopaedic or geriatric rehabilitation. In addition to the treadmill it includes a unit for adaptive visual cueing through the projection of gait patterns on the treading surface. Virtual feedback training happens simultaneously with the help of a large monitor mounted in front of the treadmill.
This patient-pending system utilizes the leading technology for motion support, mobilization, locomotion, gait training, functional training and orthopedic rehabilitation.
Gait and coordination training using virtual feedback
The patient moves in a virtual walking environment and whilst observing his own footprints, performs tasks that require a continual variation of his gait and balancing. Postural control as well as coordination skills are checked and trained as a result.
The various modules allow the training to be individually adapted to each patient.
