CYBERTHERAPY AT ADELI Medical Center in Piešťany

Cybertherapy at the ADELI Medical Center is a state-of-the-art intensive neurorehabilitation program that combines robotics, neuroscience, and traditional forms of therapy.

At the core is the HAL exoskeleton (Hybrid Assistive Limb) from the Japanese company Cyberdyne. This system detects minimal bioelectrical signals from the muscles—the body's “intention to move”—and supports the movement in real time. This allows patients to relearn or improve movements such as walking or standing.

Typical of cybertherapy at ADELI is an intensive, structured program lasting approximately two weeks, which combines several components:

• daily, robot-assisted training in the exoskeleton
• individually adapted physiotherapy
• massage and manual therapies
• regenerative treatments such as hydrotherapy or other neurorehabilitative methods

The approach is not only technical but also neurologically grounded: by combining movement, sensory feedback, and intensive repetition, the aim is for the nervous system to “relearn” how to better control and stabilize movements.

The goal of cybertherapy is to improve gait, coordination, balance, and independence in people with neurological limitations (e.g., after a stroke, spinal cord injuries, or with ataxia).
