MTT (Medical Training Therapy) is an active form of therapy in which patients train on medical exercise equipment under physiotherapeutic supervision. The goal is to improve strength, endurance, coordination and flexibility after injuries, operations or with chronic conditions. MTT is a physiotherapy service prescribed by a physician.
MTT (Medical Training Therapy) refers to an equipment-based training area in the rehabilitation sector and is not a medical remedy in itself. Training therapy can take place as part of physiotherapy (KG), equipment-based physiotherapy (KGG) or within a rehabilitation programme.
Treatment begins with a physiotherapeutic assessment and individual training plan. Each session includes a warm-up, equipment-based strength, stabilisation and coordination training, and a brief cool-down phase.
Depending on the setting, training lasts between 15 minutes (KG) and up to 60 minutes (KGG or rehabilitation).
KGG (equipment-based physiotherapy) is prescribed by a physician for:
- Post-operative conditions (e.g. knee replacement, shoulder surgery, spinal surgery)
- Chronic back pain
- Muscular imbalances and postural defects
- Sports injuries and their rehabilitation
- Osteoarthritis and degenerative joint diseases
- Neurological conditions with motor deficits
The prescription is issued via a medical remedy prescription.
KGG Equipment – What Does Your Practice Need?
A KGG area in a physiotherapy practice typically requires the following equipment categories:
| Equipment Category | Function | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Upper Body Strength | Strengthening arms, shoulders, trunk | Cable machines, lat pulldown, back extension |
| Lower Body Strength | Strengthening legs, hips | Leg press, leg extension, leg curl |
| Cardio (not mandatory) | Cardiovascular training | Ergometer, treadmill, cross trainer |
| Functional Equipment (not mandatory) | Coordination, stabilisation | Training walls, sling trainers, balance systems |
| Assessment Devices (not mandatory) | Assessment, progress monitoring | Force measurement, mobility tests |
The investment costs for a complete KGG setup with conventional equipment typically range between €25,000 and €65,000.
The WONDERWALL training wall by Wonder GmbH offers a space-saving alternative for general MTT equipment and for KGG billing. Over 300 exercise variations cover muscle training, mobilisation, stretching, coordination and functional training – on a wall area from just 2 m².
In general, the WONDERWALL enables:
- Functional leg press via combined applications, without weights!
- Upper body training via combined applications, sticks and resistance bands
- Lower body training with loops and bands, via combined applications
- Core stabilisation in open and closed kinetic chain
- Mobilisation and stretching stations
The WONDERWALL offers physiotherapy practices a space-saving training solution for treatment rooms and MTT areas. The modular aluminium profile system allows stepless height adjustment – no grid, precise to the centimetre for every body size.
For practices with limited space, the WONDERWALL is particularly attractive: it requires no floor space and can be used as a supplement or alternative to conventional MTT equipment.
For KGG, this means:
- Back extension via two stretching rollers can be performed on the WONDERWALL
- Functional leg press as a large device for the weight gradation required by health insurance associations – additional equipment!
- 2 universal cable machines, one with a frame for vertical pull function, for the weight gradation required by health insurance associations – additional equipment!
It is important that these functions are available and that a 1:3 supervision ratio is maintained in KGG.
KGG vs. KG – What Is the Difference?
| Feature | MTT | KG (Physiotherapy) |
|---|---|---|
| Training Type | Active, equipment-based | Active and passive, manual |
| Duration | 60 minutes | 15–30 minutes |
| Group Size | Up to 3 patients simultaneously | Individual treatment |
| Equipment | Medical training equipment required | Small devices |
| Goal | Build strength, endurance, coordination | Mobility, pain relief, functional improvement |
| Prescription | Medical remedy prescription | Medical remedy prescription |
