Europe’s Most Innovative Neurorehabilitation Clinic delivering measurable recoveries
Who we are
Belgian-based neuro rehabilitation center TRAINM’s mission is to help children and adults with neurological deficits achieve measurable recoveries, and to do this even for patients who have been told no further recovery is possible.
TRAINM becomes the first “Center of Excellence” of DIH worldwide
We are delighted to announce that TRAINM has become the first “Center of Excellence” of DIH/Hocoma worldwide.
Our approach is always personal
Our personalized high-intensity therapeutic augmentation strategies combine disciplines, resources, expertise and technologies:
✓ Best-in-class team of doctors and therapists
✓ Robotics
✓ Non-invasive neuromodulation
✓ Virtual reality (VR)
✓ Neurogaming
✓ Brain-computer interface (BCI)
✓ Artificial intelligence (AI)
We strongly believe in the synergies between technologies, human intervention and a motivating environment.
Our therapists use sophisticated sensor-based technologies as accurate and continuous assessment tools to provide patients with a therapeutic protocol which is tailored towards restoring lost function.
We treat children and adults with neurological impairments, regardless of cause

TRAINM collaborates with BRAINM for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders
BRAINM Clinics offers groundbreaking non-invasive neuromodulation treatments that have been proven effective through scientific research. These treatments serve as compelling alternatives or supplements to conventional medications and (psycho)therapies. Our expert medical team ensures the most up-to-date, evidence-based, and personalized treatments for a range of neuropsychiatric, neurological and other disorders.
Patient success stories
“My name is Ilse, I am 53 years old and have had Multiple Sclerosis for 31 years. I came here the moment I heard this existed. The difference until now is that the other treatments only had the effect of stabilization but thanks to the Lokomat I have improved which you don’t expect with MS. I mainly use Lokomat and my spasticity disappeared with 80% after the first go. I could climb stairs too, which really surprised me. Last night I climbed 15 stairs on my own by pulling myself up. But I could climb them on my own, which I hadn’t been able to do for a long time. Something else that is very important to me, with regard to comfort, is being able to turn over in bed again. This is a huge improvement with regard to comfort.”

Cerebral Palsy
“I was born with cerebral palsy and would really like to be able to walk unaided indoors. I set up a crowdfunding campaign and collected 6,000 euros so I could start here. Before I started here when I walked from my bedroom to the bathroom with my frame, I was exhausted. Now I can walk a distance of at least 200 meters without being exhausted.”
From December 2017 to June 2018: walking distance increased 66% (from 671m to 1114m)
“My name is Sem, I came here to TRAINM because I had a brain haemorrhage two years ago. I use the GEO machine to learn to walk. I use a splint still but the movement is correct. I also do hand exercises. When I first came here I couldn’t really do much with my hand. But now I can pick up a rod with my left hand on my own. I hope I will be able to use my left hand and left arm over time and that one day I will be able to walk without a splint.”
From August 2017 to April 2018: ability to draw a circle improved significantly (both in smoothness, speed and correctness).

Indications we treat
Cerebral Palsy (CP)
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of movement disorders that appear in early childhood. Signs and symptoms often include poor coordination, stiff muscles, weak muscles and tremors. There may be problems with sensation, vision, hearing, swallowing and speaking.
TRAINM’s goal for CP management is to maximise the person’s independence and community engagement through a multidisciplinary and personalized approach.
Stroke
A stroke is a condition in which poor blood flow to the brain results in cell death. There are two main types of stroke: ischemic, due to lack of blood flow, and hemorrhagic, due to bleeding.
TRAINM’s goal for stroke rehabilitation is to return patients to normal life as much as possible by regaining and relearning the skills of everyday living.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease in which the myelin in the brain and spinal cord is damaged. MS takes several forms, with new symptoms either occurring in isolated attacks (relapsing forms) or building up over time (progressive forms).
TRAINM’s goal for the rehabilitation therapies of MS patients is to return function after an attack and prevent disability. It also aims to prevent secondary complications. The treatments are intense, effective and have no adverse side-effects.
FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY
TRAINM therapists use data from 3D cameras, sensors and VR for improved functional recovery, such as balance, trunk control, coordination and improvements in daily activities.
