Stroke sufferers train regularly on the G-WEG

There are many problems faced by stroke survivors that we don't even notice at first glance!

  • When Your Own Body Feels Foreign
  • When it's hard to recognize
  • when actions become incomprehensible
  • when the concentration is no longer sufficient

In addition, a stroke is often associated with an increased risk of falling.

Even if a fall does not occur, there is persistent instability while standing and walking. Added to this is the fear of falling caused by balance problems.

Dual-task training on the G-WEG challenges both motor and cognitive skills simultaneously. While walking, stroke survivors perform simple perceptual, memory, and daily-life tasks. This trains attention and promotes the automation of walking.

Combining walking with another task increases walking speed and is far more effective than simple walking exercises.

The results are visible very quickly, since training on the G-WEG consistently provides the same training conditions and is highly motivating. The content of G-WEG training is very complex, so we work on mobility on the one hand, but at the same time on cognitive skills to promote participation in daily life.

Achievements that, “step by step,” help each participant reconnect with life.
