tech2people Therapiezentrum is a private outpatient neurorehabilitation center established in 2017. Located in Vienna's Seestadt area, the facility treats neurological conditions using an interprofessional approach. The center combines conventional physiotherapy and occupational therapy with robotic and sensor-supported systems.
Rehabilitation Specialties and Programs
The clinic treats a specific range of neurological and mobility-related conditions:
- Multiple sclerosis
- Stroke recovery
- Paraplegia and spinal cord injury
- Parkinson's disease
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Infantile cerebral palsy (ICP)
A flagship offering is the Neuro Intensive Weeks program. This modular program lasts at least 2 weeks and includes 3–6 therapy units per day. High repetition and targeted training promote neuroplasticity – the brain's ability to form new neural connections. An interdisciplinary team develops and reviews each therapy plan to match personal mobility goals.
The pediatric department treats children starting from age 2. Specialists use adapted physiotherapy and occupational therapy methods for infantile cerebral palsy and other developmental motor impairments. Treatment plans focus on promoting functional movement and building independence.
For patients with spinal cord injuries, the center offers scientific consultation. This includes exploring options like transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation. This non-invasive method uses electrical impulses to improve motor function in interrupted nerve pathways.
Advanced Robotics and Sensor Technology
The center uses robotic systems to repeat and refine movements when conventional methods aren't enough. These technologies provide real-time data, so therapists can measure progress and adjust parameters during each session.
Gait and Mobility Systems
- Lokomat Pro – A robotic gait trainer with weight relief and a treadmill for functional walking practice.
- EksoNR – A robotic-bionic exoskeleton with electric motors that helps patients stand and walk actively.
- Rysen – A 3D bodyweight support system for unrestricted gait therapy in a safe environment.
- OmegoPlus – A system for "PRE-GAIT" exercises that activate leg muscles before standing or walking.
Upper Limb and Functional Recovery
- Amadeo – A device for hand and finger rehabilitation across all recovery phases.
- Diego – A system for arm and shoulder therapy using intelligent gravity compensation.
- RT 300 – A system that uses electrodes to stimulate muscle function in the arms, legs, and trunk.
- Pablo and Tymo – Sensor-based platforms for daily living activities, trunk stability, and balance coordination.
Clinical Leadership and Team
The medical team is led by Dr. Peter Lackner, an Associate Professor and neurological rehabilitation specialist with 30 years of experience. Lead Therapist Rupert Kluhs-Preißler specializes in health technology and physiotherapy. Staff physiotherapists and occupational therapists receive continuous training in robotic-assisted rehabilitation.
International Patient Services
The center's modular intensive formats suit international patients traveling to Vienna for short-term, high-frequency therapy. Staff provide support in several languages:
- English
- German
- French
- Dutch
- Croatian
- Hindi, Bengali, and Tibetan
The intake process includes a 60-minute assessment to record medical history and define therapy goals. Patients can book appointments through an online tool. For robotic gait therapy, the clinic requires a bone density measurement before treatment begins. Psychosocial counseling is also available to help patients and relatives adapt to new routines during recovery.
