In 1991, Dr Klaus Berndsen and Sabine Berndsen&#8217;s son was born with a severe disability (CP &#8211; cerebral palsy). As affected parents, Sabine and Dr Klaus Berndsen wanted to do everything they could to minimise the extent of the disability. For years, they therefore visited doctors and therapists at home and abroad. This included travelling for several weeks to the Ukraine, USA, South America, Hungary, Poland and even China. Unfortunately, there was only ever limited success and the wish that her son would learn to stand or walk was not fulfilled for many years.

In fact, many of those affected &#8211; including their own son &#8211; gradually managed to improve their movements and even learn to stand and walk. All approaches and devices have been continuously optimised to this day and have developed into a highly customisable concept. Patients from all over the world are treated with these methods at the ISST.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1pm32-ef59352cfdab68caa20d37b76c79759a\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-1pm32-ef59352cfdab68caa20d37b76c79759a{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-1pm32-ef59352cfdab68caa20d37b76c79759a .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-1pm32-ef59352cfdab68caa20d37b76c79759a .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-1pm32-ef59352cfdab68caa20d37b76c79759a av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-28  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Own development of medical devices<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-tr3e-d1ac761fdf455ba9f0c942650428fc7c\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-tr3e-d1ac761fdf455ba9f0c942650428fc7c{\nheight:21px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-tr3e-d1ac761fdf455ba9f0c942650428fc7c hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-29  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_image  clearfix'><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lt5loqfa-54b9fa7e040682e6038dba8889629e5c\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lt5loqfa-54b9fa7e040682e6038dba8889629e5c img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lt5loqfa-54b9fa7e040682e6038dba8889629e5c .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lt5loqfa-54b9fa7e040682e6038dba8889629e5c av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-30  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-1111 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-1111 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/isst-unna.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/entwicklung-01-w1.jpg\" alt='Entwicklung medizintechnischer Ger\u00e4te' title='entwicklung-01-w[1]'  height=\"174\" width=\"800\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/isst-unna.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/entwicklung-01-w1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/isst-unna.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/entwicklung-01-w1-320x70.jpg 320w, https:\/\/isst-unna.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/entwicklung-01-w1-768x167.jpg 768w, https:\/\/isst-unna.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/entwicklung-01-w1-705x153.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lt5lpo2m-2e7ed1835606468cec42f2d1b1a0d511 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The industry generally neglects products that are in low demand because the profit is far too small. Dr Klaus Berndsen and Sabine Berndsen therefore put a great deal of effort into designing and building the urgently needed aids in their own workshop and at night, often for just one patient, and usually provided them to patients free of charge or at the cost of the materials. New legal regulations combined with complex, expensive testing procedures for the products made these creative activities increasingly difficult. Patents were granted to inventors for various medical aids.<\/p>\n<h2>Scientific publications and publicity<\/h2>\n<p>Berndsen\/Berndsen regularly published about the application of their developments, new therapeutic approaches, technologies and research results in books and specialist journals. Television, radio and print media have repeatedly reported on their new therapeutic approaches and technical developments.<\/p>\n<h2>University teaching, continuing professional development for doctors and therapists<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to their therapeutic work at ISST, Dr Klaus Berndsen and Sabine Berndsen are active as lecturers and in clinical work at various universities in Germany and abroad. As part of these tasks, they supervise numerous research projects and accompany their scientific progress.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1988, Dr Klaus Berndsen and Sabine Berndsen have held regular training and further education courses for doctors and therapists in their own training rooms and at various institutions, congresses etc. worldwide. The focus here is on the scientific communication and practical implementation of therapy methods and technical applications that they have developed at the ISST in Unna.<\/p>\n<h2>Facilities at the Institute for Specialised Systemic Therapy<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lt5m7v9o-924c567648964e15141331313e2a11e0\">\n#top .avia-gallery.av-lt5m7v9o-924c567648964e15141331313e2a11e0 .avia-gallery-thumb a{\nwidth:20%;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-gallery av-lt5m7v9o-924c567648964e15141331313e2a11e0 avia_animate_when_visible  avia-builder-el-32  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  avia_lazyload avia-gallery-animate avia-gallery-1'  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><meta itemprop=\"contentURL\" content=\"https:\/\/isst-unna.de\/en\/about-us-isst-unna-institute-for-special-systemic-therapy\/\"><div class='avia-gallery-thumb'><a href=\"https:\/\/isst-unna.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/praxis-04-w1.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/isst-unna.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/praxis-04-w1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/isst-unna.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/praxis-04-w1-240x320.jpg 240w, https:\/\/isst-unna.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/praxis-04-w1-529x705.jpg 529w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-rel='gallery-1' data-prev-img='https:\/\/isst-unna.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/praxis-04-w1-495x400.jpg' class='first_thumb lightbox ' data-onclick='1' title='praxis-04-w[1]'  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  ><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"wp-image-1115 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-1115\"   src=\"https:\/\/isst-unna.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/praxis-04-w1-495x400.jpg\" width=\"495\" height=\"400\"  title='praxis-04-w[1]' alt='Praxis Wartebereich -
