He stated that the institution received the equipment for the first time under the Ukrainian-German project in 2023.
Iryna Pchelintseva, head of the rehabilitation medicine center, informed Suspilne that "this is not only a matter of providing material assistance, equipment, and comfortable conditions for patients. It also entails offering our classes and training, which are provided by our partners from Germany. "Rehabilitation in Ukraine is still in its infancy, so this is a significant step forward for us."
Yevhen Babuta from the Sumy region is undergoing rehabilitation with the help of German training equipment for various muscle and joint groups. He was unable to walk on his own due to an inflammation of the spinal cord. The man told Suspilne:
"I have a young specialized trainer. He works with me, does exercises. He stretches me, kneads me, puts me on exercise machines. In two weeks, the trainer had me back on my feet and walking. Now I can take steps.
