Our scientific basis

Evidence-based neurorehabilitation

Our approaches rest on current randomised trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Here we show the evidence behind each method — and what it means in practice for your therapy.

Evidence on BCI neurorehabilitation after stroke

3 Arbeiten

recoveriX-PRO further development

2025 RCT

BCI training with contingent feedback in chronic stroke (recoveriX-PRO)

Double-blind, parallel-group randomised controlled trial. Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2025.

What does this mean for our patients?

This development shows how much the quality of feedback matters for training success — something we keep in mind whenever we set up our recoveriX sessions.

recoveriX after stroke

2024 RCT

BCI training with motor imagery feedback in severe arm paresis after stroke

Randomised controlled pilot study, 40 participants, system: recoveriX (g.tec, Austria). Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2024.

What does this mean for our patients?

With recoveriX we turn exactly this principle into daily practice: the brain actively tries to plan the affected movement while we support the feedback in real time. For our patients that means focused, motivated practice even with severe paralysis.

Effectiveness of BCI for arm function

2024 Meta-analysis

BCI-controlled functional electrical stimulation for arm function after stroke

Systematic review and meta-analysis, 10 RCTs, 290 patients. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2024.

What does this mean for our patients?

The pooled evidence confirms what we see in practice: BCI-based approaches can improve arm function in addition to conventional therapy. We therefore place recoveriX as a deliberate addition, not a replacement.

Evidence on devices: in stroke, MS, Parkinson’s, spinal cord injury, ataxia, CIDP and ALS

Pablo compared with Amadeo after stroke

2026 RCT

Comparison of proprioceptive stimulation with robotic mechanotherapy (Pablo/Amadeo) in stroke patients

Quasi-randomised controlled trial. Devices: Pablo and Amadeo (Tyromotion, Austria). BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2026.

What does this mean for our patients?

The comparison helps us match the choice of device to the individual picture rather than using one device across the board.

Diego in cervical spinal cord injury

2025 Research

Feasibility of the Diego system in people with cervical spinal cord injury

Mixed-methods pilot study, 7 participants. Device: Diego (Tyromotion, Austria). Disability and Rehabilitation, 2025.

What does this mean for our patients?

With high spinal cord injuries and limited arm function, safe, guided training is decisive. This feasibility study strengthens our use of Diego in more complex cases too.

Lexo in various neurological conditions

2024 Research

Robot-assisted gait training in various neurological conditions: a feasibility study

Mixed-methods feasibility study, 28 participants (stroke, MS, Parkinson’s, spinal cord injury, ataxia, CIDP, ALS). Device: Lexo (Tyromotion, Austria). PLOS ONE, 2024.

What does this mean for our patients?

We find it particularly valuable that this study covers several of our core conditions — from stroke to spinal cord injury. It confirms the broad use of Lexo in our daily practice.

Amadeo hand rehabilitation

2023 Research

Assessment of finger strength and spasticity in hemiplegic patients using a hand and finger robot

Validity and reliability study, 161 participants (107 patients, 54 controls). Device: Amadeo (Tyromotion, Austria). 2023.

What does this mean for our patients?

The reliability of the Amadeo system lets us measure progress in hand function objectively — not just estimate it. That helps us adjust therapy precisely.

Amadeo spasticity measurement

2023 Research

Spasticity measurement with the Amadeo device in stroke patients

Validation study, 20 stroke patients and 20 healthy controls. Device: Amadeo (Tyromotion, Austria). 2023.

What does this mean for our patients?

An objective measure of spasticity makes it easier for us to follow progress and to coordinate with our patients’ doctors, for example before botulinum toxin treatment.

Lyra gait training after stroke

n.d. RCT

Electromechanically assisted gait training with the Lyra device in subacute stroke

Randomised, controlled, single-blind trial, 72 participants planned. Device: Lyra (manufacturer THERA-Trainer, not Tyromotion).

What does this mean for our patients?

Electromechanically assisted gait training allows far more repetitions per session than conventional practice — particularly valuable in the early phase after a stroke.

Exercise therapy in ALS

2025 Meta-analysis

Effects of exercise interventions in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Systematic review and meta-analysis, 12 RCTs, 430 participants. Frontiers in Neurology, 2025.

What does this mean for our patients?

Even in a progressive condition such as ALS it is clear that focused, well-adapted training can preserve function. We keep adjusting intensity and goals to the course of the illness.

Multidisciplinary rehabilitation in ALS

2025 Review

Recommendations for clinical practice in ALS rehabilitation

Narrative review of physiotherapy, occupational therapy, respiratory therapy and speech and language therapy in ALS. MDPI Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2025.

What does this mean for our patients?

The review confirms our approach: in ALS, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy work particularly closely together to preserve independence and quality of life for as long as possible.

Robot-assisted gait therapy in spinal cord injury

2024 Meta-analysis

Robot-Assisted Gait Training in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury

Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised trials. Journal of the Korean Academy of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2024.

What does this mean for our patients?

This review supports our use of robot-assisted gait therapy as a firm part of rehabilitation after spinal cord injury — alongside hands-on training.

Exercise therapy in Parkinson’s disease

2024 Meta-analysis

Physical exercise for people with Parkinson’s disease: systematic review and network meta-analysis

156 studies, 7,939 participants. Cochrane Database, 2024.

What does this mean for our patients?

The Cochrane review shows that it matters less which single “right” form of training is chosen than that training is regular and well adapted. That strengthens our individual approach with patients with Parkinson’s.

2024 Meta-analysis

Effects of exercise in people with multiple sclerosis: systematic review and meta-analysis

Effects on balance, gait, fatigue and quality of life. Frontiers in Public Health, 2024.

What does this mean for our patients?

The results confirm that exercise in MS is not only safe but effective for fatigue and gait — one reason why movement is a firm part of MS care with us.

Rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury

2022 Meta-analysis

Overview of Cochrane reviews of rehabilitation interventions in traumatic brain injury

Mapping synthesis of 6 Cochrane systematic reviews, 42 studies, 3,983 participants. 2022.

What does this mean for our patients?

The Cochrane synthesis shows large differences in the quality of evidence between areas — which strengthens our view that brain injury calls for an individual, interdisciplinary approach rather than a fixed scheme.

2023 Review

Assessment and treatment of dysphagia after stroke

Clinical review of screening, FEES assessment and speech and language therapy. Der Nervenarzt (Springer), 2023.

What does this mean for our patients?

Early screening and focused speech and language therapy are decisive in avoiding complications such as pneumonia from aspiration. That is exactly what we put in place from the start of therapy.
