Gait therapy for children and adolescents — step by step towards more freedom
We help your child walk more safely, keep their balance and manage everyday life more independently — with playful methods and the latest robotics.
Gait therapy that genuinely helps your child
What we can do for your child
Targeted forms of therapy — matched to the diagnosis and to personal goals.
Everyday walking & the way to school
Climbing stairs, the way to school, the playground — for more independence and taking part socially.
Strength & stamina
Targeted strengthening of the leg, hip and trunk muscles — for longer walking distances and less tiredness during the school day.
Gait pattern & coordination
Improving the gait pattern, step length and symmetry — with gait analysis, Bobath and functional training.
Robot-assisted gait therapy
Gait trainers such as Lyra and Perpedes allow safe, highly repetitive walking practice – including for children who cannot yet walk on their own. The same principle as the Lokomat, in a form made for children.
Balance & fall prevention
Standing and walking safely — particularly important with cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and after surgery.
Intensive therapy, 1–3 weeks
Daily gait therapy — particularly effective after botulinum toxin, after surgery, or when a child first walks independently.
These modern devices and methods are waiting for you
At our therapy centres in Graz and Vienna we work with state-of-the-art equipment for robot-assisted gait therapy made for children — playful, motivating and matched specifically to children with neurological conditions.
Funktionelles Laufbandtraining
Secured in a harness, the treadmill adds up to far more steps than walking around the room — and your child can concentrate entirely on the movement.

Perpedes – Gangtraining mit Feedback
The Perpedes measures step length and weight distribution and shows them immediately. Your child corrects themselves — which works better than any reminder.

Lyra – robotikgestützter Gangtrainer
The Lyra guides the legs in the correct pattern and achieves hundreds of steps per session. This volume is the core of gait therapy: only it establishes a new movement pattern in the brain.

Specialised. Experienced. Here for you.
Our specialised paediatric physiotherapists walk alongside your child step by step towards a safer gait pattern. With playful exercises, computer-assisted gait trainers and motivating repetition we build the brain's capacity to reorganise itself. Every session is adapted individually — to your child's pace, needs and possibilities. Progress is made visible, for example through video or simple gait analysis, so your child can experience their own development. Every small step counts and is celebrated together.
