Description
Allows for functional vertical displacement and functional pelvic rotation or stabilization during partial weight-bearing therapy
- Full Patient Access – open frame design encourages therapist facilitation and clears an unobstructed forward view for patients.
- One-Handed Control – press a button to raise or lower patient; another to set unweighing load.
- Counters Harness Slippage – Auto Unload feature compensates for potential harness movement due to slippage or posture changes.
- Convenient Control – newly designed hand-held remote can be magnetically attached anywhere on the frame.
- Safe Environment – dynamic, single-point suspension is safer for patients and negates the need for therapist support and risk of personal injury.
- Pelvic Stabilization – possible as single- or two-point stabilization with retention cords.
- Tall and Small – from pediatric to 6′ 3″ when standing over a treadmill with a 7″ step-up, such as the Gait Trainer 3.
- Get Comfortable – therapist seat can easily be moved along the base of the frame or from side-to-side. A second seat is available separately.
- Handrails As Needed – easily removable for specific balance training exercise.
- Room-to-Room – collapses to 32″ (81 cm) wide to fit through standard door frames.
Standard Unweighing Harness
The question isn’t whether to offload a patient’s weight, but how. What factors to consider should be textbook, allowing the biomechanics of gait without impeding movement.
The Biodex Unweighing Harness is designed to provide vertical lift through three shared points of pressure: through the hip straps, gluteal fold straps and the lumbar-thoracic harness. Its secure fit with maximum support offers comfort without limiting lower extremity range of motion. Assuring that the patient is comfortable is essential when lengthy exercise sessions are required.
The NxStep Unweighing System allows the necessary movements to replicate natural ambulation – uniquely offered with Biodex design.
The new Auto Unload feature compensates for any harness slippage, maintaining unloaded amount and position throughout the exercise.
Take it a step further and partner the NxStep Unweighing System with the Biodex Gait Trainer. This combination provides the safety to treat people with movement disorders, and the biofeedback technology with objective reporting to prove need, progress and outcome.
