Are there any proven successful treatments for paraplegia?

Yes, there are documented successes in the rehabilitation of paraplegia—particularly through targeted exercise therapies such as GIGER MD®, which lead to improvements in motor function.

How long does rehabilitation for paraplegia take?

The duration of rehabilitation varies depending on the severity of the injury and the treatment goals—ranging from a few months to several years of ongoing therapy.

Can patients walk again after a spinal cord injury?

In some cases, particularly when the paralysis is incomplete, targeted therapies can partially restore or improve the ability to walk. This depends heavily on the severity of the injury.

Measurable results - visible, tangible, documented.

For decades, GIGER® MD® therapy has shown consistent improvements in motor function in neurological and orthopaedic disorders.

In these clinics and rehabilitation centers, GIGER MD® therapy is used to treat people with paraplegia and tetraplegia.

Effects of GIGER® MD® Therapy

Consistent training leads to clearly measurable progress. The data we have collected shows that regular therapy can make a decisive contribution to improving quality of life.

Improved hull stability

Whole-body therapy innervates rotations in the trunk, which can improve trunk stability enormously

Partially reversing paralysis

Targeted therapy can specifically improve motor skills and noticeably improve general mobility.

Better bowel & bladder function

Regular therapy and full-body exercise can have a positive effect on digestion and improve general well-being in people with spinal cord injury.

Reduced spasticity

Targeted therapy can significantly reduce muscle spasticity in paraplegics.

Patient statements

What patients and their relatives say about our therapy.

"After just a few weeks of therapy, I was able to see a permanent reduction in my spasticity. I was finally able to sleep well again, was more balanced and physically more flexible."

"I am convinced that without training on the device, I would soon no longer be able to walk and my condition would gradually deteriorate.“

„I can truly say that I have „woken up“ my legs again.“

„I can move my legs again and have gained abdominal and back muscles. My legs are muscular. My balance has improved and my feeling has returned. I can sweat all over my body again and I have great skin conditions“

„I got through this therapy despite resistance from medical staff and was able to regain more bodily functions in a short time than any other paraplegic I have met. I would like to thank all the people who made GIGER MD® therapy in Switzerland possible for me“

My friend used one of your GIGER MD machines at the Courage Center in St. Paul. He says it has done more for him than anything else he has tried.

However, he has made great progress in his overall motor skills. For example, he can almost transfer to the car on his own and he can also stand with a little help. The therapists are very confident about him learning to walk. He will soon be doing treadmill training. He may not be able to move his legs in a targeted manner, but the automatism has already set in.

I am very grateful to have come across Gigermd, because it really is a great invention, without which our son would certainly not be doing so well. He almost has his "old" upper body back!

GIGER® MD® therapy has been used empirically for over 40 years and has been investigated in scientific studies on spinal cord injury therapy. Corresponding publications are available on public medical databases or can be obtained from us on request.
