ADVANTAGES AND CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
ORTHOPEDIC, SPORTS MEDICINE, & ATHLETIC TRAINING EXERCISE
Use uphill or downhill walking and jogging to emphasize specific muscle groups or motions. Use retro-walking to promote the use of reciprocal muscle groups not normally exercised during forward walking alone
CARDIOPULMONARY EXERCISE
Monitor heart rate by Telemetry or contact heart rate in handgrips. MET level displayed for easy compliance to patient exercise prescriptions. Belt speeds as low as 0.1 mph to accommodate even the most deconditioned patient
OLDER ADULT EXERCISE
Simulate uphill and downhill walking. Retro-walk to reduce flexion contractures with total knee and total hip replacements. Retro-walk is also great for promoting dorsiflexion. (Using the dual height Geriatric/Pediatric Handrails)
PEDIATRIC EXERCISE
Small and precise speed increments and adjustable handrails make this treadmill ideal for use with children too
NEUROLOGICAL REHABILITATION EXERCISE
Treadmills have long been used in therapy and conditioning to encourage patient compliance. Now, the small speed increments, specially configured handrails, and gait monitoring permit the neurologically impaired patient population to safely
