Together with experts from the University for Continuing Education Krems, Prof Dr Walter Michael Strobl and Alexander Drehmann, MSc, Rehatec has developed a new type of aid for dynamic standing. Numerous extras complement our tried-and-tested Upright Stander Standard and give it dynamic functions that enable us to fulfil high therapeutic requirements and objectives.

But what makes dynamic standing so special?

1) Improving body awareness
Dynamic standing promotes awareness of your own body and its position in space through normal sensory input - particularly valuable for people with perceptual, postural and movement disorders.

2) Strengthening the muscles
Targeted holding of physiological lever arms activates and strengthens various muscle groups, resulting in improved leg and core muscles.

3) Balance training
Our product actively promotes balance by training the body to react to changing conditions and adapt posture accordingly.

4) Coordination and stability
Dynamic standing improves coordination between muscle groups and increases the stability of the entire body.

5) Stress reduction and mindfulness
Integrated mindfulness exercises not only promote physical health, but also mental relaxation and noticeably reduce stress.

6) Rehabilitation after injuries
For patients undergoing rehabilitation, our product supports the healing process by gradually restoring mobility and muscle strength.

7) Promoting motor control
For older people or patients with neurological conditions in particular, dynamic standing helps to improve sensory and motor control.

8) Integrating sensory impressions
Consciously reacting to different sensory impressions improves multisensory processing and promotes comprehensive rehabilitation.

In order to meet the highest therapeutic demands, Rehatec has brought leading experts on board for the further development of the standing device.

As a research associate at the University for Continuing Education Krems, Dr Strobl has been instrumental in the development of innovative therapeutic approaches. His excellent expertise in the fields of rehabilitation research and health management as well as in scientific studies and practical therapy concepts has shaped the optimisation of our innovative product and strengthened the link between theory and application. He has published several successful scientific papers describing new approaches to improving the quality of life and functional abilities of severely disabled patients.

Alexander Drehmann, MSc, is a renowned expert in neuroorthopaedics and rehabilitation and plays a key role in the field of clinical neuroscience. Among other things, he works at the University for Continuing Education Krems, where he is involved in the development and management of the neuro-orthopaedics degree programme in collaboration with Prof. Dr Walter Strobl. This programme aims to train specialists in the interdisciplinary care of patients with neurological disorders. In his 20 years as CSO and head of development at Kerkoc GmbH, Vienna, his work has focussed in particular on the rehabilitation of patients with complex neurological disorders such as cerebral palsy. His expertise is clearly emphasised by his publications. He has also contributed this knowledge to the further development of our product.
