Smart Innovations for More Motivation, Safety & Therapy Success

tyroS – Software that Redefines Therapy

tyroS is our central therapy software and the core of many Tyromotion devices such as Amadeo, Diego, Pablo, Tymo, Myro, Omego, and Lexo. It combines motor, sensory, and cognitive training with gamification, biofeedback, and intuitive operation. The result: modern robotic therapy that is not only more effective, but also more motivating – for both patients and therapists.

With the latest update, tyroS introduces new features that make training even more engaging, safer, and more targeted.

3. Lexo – Optimized Reporting & Real-Time Feedback

After each Lexo Walk session, detailed parameters such as step length, cadence, distance, or weight shift are now available.

• Progress is now presented more transparently and measurably
• Real-time feedback supports active weight shifting and step initiation

➡️ Patients can see their progress in a clear report, while therapists can tailor and guide the training with precision.

What does robotics-assisted rehabilitation actually feel like in practice? Around 24 participants from 8 different facilities across the DACH region had the chance to find out during our workshop on April 5, held in the Aktivräume of Johann Zachskorn. The goal: not just to talk about robotics in neurorehabilitation, but to truly experience it.

Among the attendees: outpatient and inpatient facilities, experienced users, and curious newcomers – all united by one common mission: improving therapy.

Knowledge from Practice, for Practice

Following a warm welcome from our host Johann Zachskorn, the day kicked off with a brief introduction to our Tyromotion systems. Johann then shared fascinating insights from his everyday work with robotics-assisted therapy, highlighting key success factors, hands-on control concepts, and how robotics is reshaping modern therapy. The engaged audience made one thing clear: this topic sparks interest and inspiration.

Technology You Can Feel: Hands-on with Tyromotion

The afternoon was all about interaction – trying out, discussing, and testing a selection of our robotic and sensor-based therapy devices that are regularly used in the Aktivräume:

• Pablo enhances traditional exercises with biofeedback, objective assessments, and gamification – delivering precise gait parameters for personalized therapy planning.
• Lexo makes robotic gait training more accessible – with quick setup, high activity, and evidence-based therapy.
• Amadeo focuses on grasp training – even in cases of spasticity or high muscle tone – and eases the repetitive workload in finger-hand therapy.
• Tymo enables standardized postural assessments in standing – flexible and versatile in everyday use.
• Diego brings freedom of movement in all directions. With its innovative patient support and intelligent weight compensation, Diego enables functional training in a three-dimensional space – from proximal to distal – and helps patients relearn how to handle everyday objects.
• Omego Plus is much more than a therapy bike. It combines the features of a stepper, leg press, and sensor-based training in one system – targeting gait parameters such as balance, strength, endurance, and neurocognitive control across all phases of rehabilitation.

Takeaway: A Day That Made a Difference

The feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive – both in terms of content and technical experience. The combination of expert talks, one-on-one support, and hands-on interaction turned the workshop into a truly impactful learning experience. Especially encouraging: in addition to seasoned users, many participants with no prior experience in robotic therapy joined us – a strong signal that robotics is gaining ground in modern rehabilitation.

Research Study: Advancing Therapy for Children with Hemiparesis

We are proud to see our Diego and Myro as part of a very promising retrospective study exploring the effect of modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (mCIMT), Bimanual Intensive Therapy (BIT), and exergame-based robotics to enhance limitations in children with hemiparesis. 23 children with upper limb impairments underwent 30 hours of intensive therapy over an 8-day intensive camp.

Highlights

• The group-based day camp model took place for 4 half-days per week for 2 weeks (30 h over 8 days)
• PULIT effectively increases children’s dexterity, ADL performance, and achieves individual goals (85.7% GAS).
• PULIT reaches an equal therapy effect in shorter time period and with fewer hours as previous RCTs using state-of-the-art-therapy for children with (severe) upper limb impairments.

Intensive therapy programs like the PULIT program might be an effective booster session for children to learn relevant ADLs and gain functional independence.
