Ergometry in Olympion Rehab
About the clinic
Ergometry (exercise stress testing) is available at Olympion Rehab across several locations in Greece, including Patras, Thessalia, and Ioannina. This diagnostic examination assesses the cardiorespiratory response and records the initial aerobic capacity of the patient. The clinic uses specialized Ergoline ergometric bicycles to measure both aerobic and anaerobic capabilities.
The evaluation takes place in an outpatient lab setting where a practitioner monitors cardiac frequency, ECG, and blood pressure. Resistance and workload on the ERS Ergoline Reha System are configured specifically to the heart rate of the patient. This method provides detailed stress test data that defines a personalized exercise program.
Testing Details and Equipment
- Ergoline Reha System. Graded exercise testing with continuous monitoring of heart rate and blood pressure.
- Cardiopulmonary assessment. Measurements of aerobic and anaerobic capacity to determine physical limits.
- Post-cardiac evaluation. Assessment for recovery planning in cases of mild or advanced heart failure.
- Athlete performance testing. Definition of training schedules and interval programs for professional and amateur athletes.
- Integrated diagnostics. The lab also performs nerve conduction studies, electromyography (EMG), and plantar scanning.
Olympion Rehab holds multiple certifications, including ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 15224:2017. The facilities are also certified by TUV Austria Hellas and EQA. These departments are contracted with the National Health Insurance System (EOPYY) in Greece. Patients can request a consultation to arrange an assessment at the Patras, Thessalia, or Ioannina locations through Bookimed.

Olympion Rehab: more details about the clinic
Olympion Rehab is a network of private rehabilitation centers in Greece. Founded in 2019, it provides both inpatient and outpatient care. The network operates facilities in Chania, Patras, Thessalia, Ioannina, and Heraklion. Each center is designed to treat mobility and cognitive deficits.
Accreditations and Quality Standards
The centers hold ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 15224:2017 certifications for quality management. They are also certified by TUV Austria Hellas and EQA. Continuous equipment checks ensure all treatment tools meet current safety regulations.
Rehabilitation Specialties and Facilities
The network treats complex conditions such as spinal cord injuries and cerebral palsy. Specialists manage severe mobility issues including paraplegia, quadriplegia, and hemiparesis. Programs also address swallowing, communication, and respiratory difficulties. A Physiatrist evaluates every patient to design an individualized plan.
The network operates large-scale inpatient units across Greece:
- Patras: 135 beds
- Thessalia: 80 beds
- Chania: 80 beds
- Heraklion: 79 beds
Heraklion opened in 2021 on a 10,000 square meter property to serve Crete.
Physical and Neurological Therapy
Physiotherapy departments focus on muscle strengthening, gait retraining, and pain reduction. Therapists use Bobath therapy for patients with central nervous system disorders. This method uses specialized Bobath beds and walking retraining equipment. Gym-based training helps improve balance and limb function.
Robotic and Occupational Rehabilitation
The robotic rehabilitation department uses the Armeo Spring system for upper limb recovery. This anti-gravity technology tracks free movement across the shoulder and elbow joints. Ergotherapy helps patients regain self-care skills for daily life. Facilities include a dedicated training area and Biometrics computer systems for cognitive re-education.
Hydrotherapy and Specialized Care
Hydrotherapy takes place in pools kept between 31°C and 34°C. Water-based treatments use buoyancy and pressure to enable movements impossible on land. The pools feature whirlpool baths and personal hydromassage units. Dedicated departments for psychological support and speech therapy complete the care team.
Diagnostic Technology and Evaluation Labs
The centers run specialized labs to assess patient progress and physical condition. Specialists perform EMG and nerve conduction studies to diagnose nerve and muscle issues. These labs also use motion analysis tools, including a plantar scanner for foot pressure assessment.
The diagnostic units use several brand-name systems:
- Extentrac Elite M3D for robotic spinal decompression
- Biodex and BTE isokinetic systems for muscle strength testing
- Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA)
These tools allow doctors to monitor functional improvements with high precision.
Services for Patients
Patient rooms are designed for long-term comfort and independence. Wards feature electric remote-controlled beds and specially equipped bathrooms. Each room includes air-conditioning, a personal telephone, and a TV. Patients can access the internet via Wi-Fi and provided personal computers.
The network coordinates transportation between facilities or other locations. This includes a special vehicle for wheelchair transfers. Fully equipped ambulances are available for urgent movement. These are staffed by escort doctors and trained medical personnel for safety during transit.
