With robot-assisted therapy devices such as the Lyra gait trainer and Amadeo — targeted work on gait pattern, arm and hand function. Focused physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy after ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke – interdisciplinary, individual and with measurable progress. No long waiting — a first appointment is usually possible within 2 days.
📈 In Austria someone has a stroke every 27 minutes — around 19,000 a year.
A stroke (cerebral infarction, also called an insult) or a cerebral haemorrhage occurs when the blood supply to an area of the brain is interrupted – either by a clot (ischaemic stroke, ~85%) or by bleeding in the brain (~15%). The affected brain cells are deprived of oxygen and die. The type and extent of the neurological consequences of a stroke depend on which area is affected.
You wake up one morning and the right side of your body no longer moves. Words you are thinking will not pass your lips. The glass slips from the paralysed hand. A stroke changes life within seconds – and confronts those affected and their families with new challenges.
Acute medical care after a stroke or cerebral haemorrhage is provided by neurologists and acute hospitals. We are your specialist for stroke rehabilitation – we start where the acute phase ends: with focused therapy for gait pattern, arm function and speech. Our therapists work closely with your treating neurologist and align the therapy plan with medical findings and rehabilitation reports. The focus is on hemiparesis, spasticity, safe walking and – where needed – speech and swallowing therapy after aphasia or dysphagia.
We offer continuing outpatient therapy after ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke – even once inpatient rehabilitation has been completed. Because stroke rehabilitation does not end when you leave the clinic. Our specialised team supports you at every step of your rehabilitation.
A stroke can affect very different areas. Here are the most common consequences — in medical and in everyday language.
One side of the body is paralysed or severely weakened — the arm hangs limply
Words that are thought will not come out. Or sentences break off midway. Others speak — but you no longer understand what they are saying.
Walking in a straight line takes the greatest concentration. You hold on to walls. Stairs become a danger. The fear of falling is always there.
Swallowing is no longer straightforward. You choke when drinking. Eating takes concentration and brings anxiety rather than pleasure.
Concentration lasts only briefly. Things are forgotten. One side of the body, or part of the surroundings, is no longer noticed.
The muscles tighten involuntarily. The arm pulls in against your will. Movements that used to be smooth are now cramped and painful.
The answer is almost always yes. Neuroplasticity means the brain can still learn, even years after a stroke. Come and meet us — free and without obligation.
Straightforward, personal, no waiting list.
Tell us about your difficulties — limited arm or leg function, language problems, dizziness or unsteadiness when walking. We explain what rehabilitation can do after a stroke and whether we are the right place for you.
We analyse your gait, your arm and hand function and — where relevant — your balance with the Balo system. From the movement tests and the assessment comes your individual, interdisciplinary therapy plan.
Regular sessions of physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy — matched to your goals and your progress. At the end there is a follow-up measurement showing what you have achieved.
Real experiences, real progress — how our clients have regained independence, confidence and quality of life despite their diagnosis.
After the stroke I thought I would never be independent again. Here they showed me what is still possible — step by step.
A stroke fundamentally changed the life of Mr Grinschgl, a 75-year-old hobby craftsman. Partial paralysis and loss of function on his right side were the result. Robot-assisted therapy is helping him work in his workshop again.
