GIGER® MD® therapy has been used empirically for over 40 years and has been studied in scientific trials as a treatment for stroke. Relevant publications are available in public medical databases or can be obtained from us upon request.
How does GIGER® MD® Therapy work?
GIGER® MD® therapy is based on the understanding that it is possible to reorganize a damaged central nervous system (CNS). This makes it possible to improve even advanced neuronal injuries and diseases—even if early treatment was not administered.
A key factor in success is that learning processes stimulate and regulate the formation of new nerve cells. In GIGER® MD® therapy, this is achieved through regular training. In this way, the frequency- and phase-coordinated firing of neurons—which is central to the self-organization of the central nervous system—is relearned. The brain is systematically trained to adopt new movement patterns.
Harmonious movement
Symmetrical patterns
Precise coordination
1000-fold repetitions
GIGER® MD® therapy differs from other treatment methods in that it does not merely affect the periphery. Instead, regular training with the GIGER® MD® therapy devices has been proven to reorganize the central nervous system itself. As a result, even in cases of severe paralysis following a stroke, significant improvements in motor function are possible—pain-free, efficient, and without medication.
GIGER® MD® therapy is based on the understanding that a damaged central nervous system (CNS) can be partially repaired. Through regular training, it is possible to create new neural connections. Even motor and speech functions that were thought to be lost can be regained step by step by relearning the basis for the CNS’s self-organization—the frequency and phase coordination of neuronal firing.
Numerous scientific studies demonstrate the effectiveness of GIGER® MD® therapy and its superiority over other treatment methods. For patients who have suffered a stroke, it offers the opportunity to regain a high degree of self-control and thereby significantly improve their quality of life.
Effects of GIGER® MD® Therapy
Improvement of motor skills
Greater mobility and independence—active training improves range of motion, coordination, and speed despite stroke-related limitations.
Strengthening the muscles
Building muscle strength to better support the body—this specifically helps prevent osteoporosis and muscle loss following a period of immobility.
Better blood circulation
Cardiovascular exercise improves blood circulation and reduces the increased risk of heart disease following a stroke.
Reduction of spasticity
Coordinated movement therapy specifically reduces and prevents spasticity—without the side effects of medication.
Improvement of vegetative functions
Bladder and bowel control, as well as respiratory function, improve through this holistic, whole-body therapy.
Prevention of complications
Prevention of thrombosis, pressure ulcers, joint stiffness, and other complications through regular physiological exercise.
Frequently asked questions:
How does GIGER® MD® Therapy work?
In GIGER® MD® therapy, patients perform movement patterns with all four limbs that are coordinated with millisecond precision. These movements stimulate the central nervous system in a unique way—a method specifically developed for rehabilitation following a stroke and other neurological conditions.
Who is GIGER® MD® therapy suitable for?
GIGER® MD® therapy is suitable for treating a wide range of neurological and orthopedic conditions—including stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral palsy, paraplegia, tetraplegia, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis. The device is FDA-registered and suitable for patients aged 1 to 100 years.
How often should the therapy be used to achieve good results?
Consistency is the most important factor in achieving results. That is why we also recommend purchasing one for daily use at home. Experience has shown that the best progress in stroke rehabilitation is achieved with intensive therapy—0.5 to 3 hours daily on 5 weekdays over a period of 3 to 6 months.
How quickly do you see the first results?
Many users report initial improvements after just a few sessions: improved blood circulation, greater core stability and balance, improved coordination, and reduced spasticity. It is crucial to continue the therapy consistently, as the brain needs time to consolidate new neural connections.
Is there a scientific basis for its effectiveness?
Yes. There are various studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of GIGER® MD® therapy—particularly in stroke patients. The therapy is based on neuroelectrophysiological measurements and the latest findings in human neuroscience. Please contact us for more information and details on the studies.
