Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Technology arm
4 Weeks intervention of intensive rehabilitation using rehabilitation technology, 3-5 h per day, within a 5d week in-or outpatient setting.
Rehabilitation technology
* Series of tailored rehabilitative training with the use of new technology which provide feedback and allow for a targeted and intensive and dense training.
* With supervision based on patients preconditions and therapy device (e.g. patient/ therapist ratio= 3/1).
* A training series lasts four weeks and comprises 3-5 training-days per week. Maximum training break of 7 days.
Five sessions of training with duration of 45 min per session, and up to four hours each day are foreseen.
* The training can take place in an outpatient or inpatient setting.
* Training will be organized in individual one-to-one or group session

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Up to 12 months after the event
* Primary rehabilitation terminated
* Able to cognitively comprehend the aim of the project with at least 22 points in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)
* General health condition allows for intensive rehabilitative training with limited supervision i.e. clearance and prescription of responsible physician
* Understand written and spoken German language
Exclusion Criteria
* fixed joint contractures limiting range of motion
* non-consolidated fractures Neuro-psychological conditions including cognitive deficits limiting communication or non-cooperation like (self-) aggressive behaviour Infections or inflammatory diseases, like osteomyelitis
Specific absolute contraindication for the training with any of the respective devices:
* Improper fit of the device, including its harness to relevant extremity(ies)
* Contraindicated training position (standing, sitting)
Device specific contraindications will be respected and will lead to the exclusion of the device for that patient.
