most distinguished clinics and research
facilities around the world.
Sports and orthopedic medicine, pediatric
medicine, neurorehabilitation, older adult
medicine, industrial medicine, and researchers
depend on Biodex to provide consistent,
accurate objective data. Objective data that
provides the best outcome for their patients...
objective data that supports their research...
objective data that separates their facility
from the rest.
Our 200 employees strive to keep Biodex at
the forefront of innovation, effectiveness,
efficiency and reliability. That’s why so many
world class facilities depend on Biodex.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
ADVANTAGE SOFTWARE™ 4.0
At Biodex we believe that true innovation in patient care starts with you,
the clinician. Historically, rehabilitation professionals have viewed our
clinically-driven products as technological extensions of their hands and
as advancements that increased their clinical performance and improved
their patients’ outcomes. These innovations represent a unique place in
physical rehabilitation – where art and science meet to inspire
technology.
MORE RESPONSIVE, EASIER TO USE AND FASTER TO SETUP
• Consider an isokinetic exercise mode that allows the limb to accelerate
to a fixed speed without impact and decelerate into an electronic
cushioned stop for the safest and most efficient form of exercise.
• Consider a CPM exercise mode that allows the patient to comfortably
exert forces but not exceed specified limits, permitting the earliest
possible post-operative intervention to decrease joint effusion, increase
range of motion and develop strength.
• Consider an isotonic mode that provides resistance at a constant force
while allowing velocity to vary, a mode that safely mimics functional
activities while providing patients with quantitative biofeedback.
Advantage Software™ 4.0 is the most comprehensive, easy-to-use, featurerich software that has ever been released for human performance testing
and rehabilitation. Motivate patients with on-screen charts and graphics
that track performance and encourage compliance. Powerful curve analysis
allows you to conduct even more complex neuromuscular evaluations.
Every step of the rehabilitation plan is captured and documented.
System 4 makes a point of being easy to use for all skill levels, bringing the
clinical advantages of this technology to every application. Moving from
treatment to analysis to report generation is just a click away.
Only Advantage Software 4.0 features
the Rehabilitation Progress Report.
This on-screen chart and printable
report tracks Pain, Range of Motion
and Strength throughout the
rehabilitation protocol.
• Consider an isometric exercise mode for safe base line strength testing
before and after surgery.

FREESTEP SAS
SUPPORTED AMBULATION SYSTEM
An overhead track and harness system for patient and therapist safety
FEATURES:
• Provides patient support
during rehab activities:
- Sit-to-stand
- Overground, treadmill
walking
- Climbing and
descending stairs
- Balance training
• Reduces number of
therapists needed to safely
assist patient ambulation
• Minimizes fear of falling
that inhibits patient effort
• Protects therapists and care
givers from injuries when
guarding patients
• Accommodates concurrent
use by multiple patients
• Reduces liability risks for
the facility by reducing
patient falls as well as
Worker’s Compensation
claims
Create a supported
ambulation environment
without using additional
floor space
The need is clear. NEW Biodex
FreeStep SAS is an overhead
track and harness system that
provides a safe ambulation
environment for both therapist
and patient. Without the fear of
falling, patients can focus more
fully on their tasks of gait and
balance. Likewise, therapists can
focus on assisting, rather than
supporting. According to an
article in the American Journal
of Occupational Therapy, 2009
May-Jun;63(3):351-62, a
startling 62% of PTs and 56%
of PTAs reported injury to the
low back while assisting
patients.
And for stroke patients alone, as
many as 39% were reported to
have fallen during inpatient
rehabilitation. Stroke,
1995;26:838-842
FREESTEP SAS IS SUITABLE
FOR ANY FACILITY
WORKING WITH
WEAKENED OR BALANCE
DEFICIENT PATIENTS:
• Nursing Homes and
Assisted Living Facilities
• Stroke Rehabilitation,
Parkinson’s patients
• Head Injury, TBI and
SCI patients
• Amputee rehabilitation
• Orthopedic patients,
especially total hip/knee,
where a fall could be a
major set back
Over ground walking is key to gait rehab and
activities of daily living - but can be risky for
patients and therapists. FreeStep SAS reduces
the risk of falling, bolsters confidence and
encourages patients to focus on the task at hand.
Safe ambulation and support over ground, stairs, parallel bars or equipment. Multi-user capacity optimizes equipment and staff in a safe environment.

FreeStep SAS can be installed… wood beam,
steel or even concrete. Standard installation
can support up to 800 lbs per 8-foot track.
The construction of FreeStep SAS allows
multiple users performing varying exercises
to benefit from supported ambulation
without increasing PT attention. Therapists
can treat high-risk patients one-on-one,
without adding a second therapist to assist.
The Biodex Unweighing Harness improves comfort and prevents
slippage without limiting lower extremity range of motion.
FreeStep SAS is custom configured to your routines and space. Track support system over equipment that allows patients to
exercise independently or with minimal assistance.

Testing Protocol:
The testing protocol consisted of three 20 second trials using the postural stability testing feature
within the BSD software. During each test trial, the platform gradually became less stable at four
second intervals. The initial stability level was set at level 12 and ended at level 8. Participants
were given a 10 second rest between each of the three trials.

Biodex Balance System SD
ICD-9 Code: V15.88 Personal History of Fall
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) have created a code, V15.88 History of Fall, on the list of diagnostic codes
implemented on October 1, 2005. They also listed At Risk for Fall as an inclusion term. Both
terms will be indexed to direct the user to the code V15.88. A specific fall code should
heighten health care provider awareness of the importance of falling as a manageable medical
problem, and enhance the likelihood that fall risk evaluation and management services would
be considered medically reasonable and necessary services, and therefore covered.

“Our patients
love the system
because they
can see their
progress and
receive objective
scores...”
“The majority of
our patients are
over the age of 70
and most have balance issues, so the Biodex
Balance System SD gets a lot of use here. We
like it for balance assistance and training,
and find it works especially well with hip
and knee replacement patients as well as
those with back problems.
The display and printouts help us prove to
patients that they aren't putting equal
weight on one leg vs. the other and that they
do, indeed, have balance problems. After an
initial balance assessment, we use the system
to train each patient to balance properly,
which helps avoid additional back and lower
extremity problems down the road - as well
as decreasing their risk of falling.
Our patients love the system because they
can see their progress and receive objective
scores, which lets them know they are
getting better or what they need to do to
improve upon the last visit.
I would highly recommend the Balance
System SD to other facilities - especially
those working with elderly populations.”
- Clif Rizer, MSPT, ATC, CSCS

Therapy - Boynton Beach, FL
“The Biodex has improved our patients’
balance dramatically. We’ve been using
the Biodex with patients that have
Parkinson’s disease, stroke and hip
replacements.”
Mercy Rehabilitation Hospital in Daphne,
Alabama now offers a high-tech approach for
identifying risk factors for falls among older
adults. The Biodex Balance System provides
fast, accurate fall risk screening and
conditioning for older adults. In addition, the
system offers closed-chain, weight-bearing
assessment and training for lower extremity
patients. According to Jeff Nobles, director of
rehabilitation services at Mercy, “The Biodex
Balance System has improved our patients’
balance dramatically. We’ve been using the
system with patients that have Parkinson’s
disease, stroke and hip replacements.” The
CONDITIONING PROGRAM
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE BALANCE SYSTEM SD FALL RISK SCREENING PROGRAM
system challenges the neuromuscular system in
an effort to minimize disability and maintain
functional performance. Clinicians, like
Nobles, can assess neuromuscular control by
measuring a patient’s ability to maintain
dynamic bilateral and unilateral postural
stability on a static or unstable surface.The
Biodex Balance System SD features a large,
color, touch-screen display with visual
biofeedback. Six interactive training modes
provide both static and
dynamic capabilities.
Training modes emphasize
specific movement
patterns or strategies by
placing markers anywhere
on the screen.
...“the Balance System helps show the
patients their instability... IT PROVES IT
TO THEM in black and white, which
allows us to begin working with them
before they fall.”
The Gardens Court is a 120 resident facility
located on the east coast of Florida, part of the
Life Care Centers of America. Besides The
Gardens Court, Life Care operates more than
200 skilled nursing, assisted living,
retirement, home care and Alzheimer’s centers
in 28 states - from Boston, Massachusetts to
Hilo, Hawaii. The Garden Court has the
Biodex Balance SD, as do sister facilities Darcy
Hall Nursing and Rehabilitation in West
Palm Beach and Lakeside Health Center also
in West Palm Beach.
A patient’s score reflects
how many times a target
is hit. Training modes include maze control
training, stability training, random control
training, weight shift training, weight bearing
and game-like balance training. A fall screening
test protocol compares balance test results to
age- and gender-dependent data consistent with
American Geriatrics Guidelines for Fall Risk
Assessment. The athlete knee injury screening
test is consistent with leading sports medicine
programs. One of Mercy’s rehabilitation
patients who utilizes the balance system said,
“The Biodex Balance System is simple, versatile
and flexible.”
The Balance
System has
successfully
been integrated
into the
rehabilitation
/wellness
programs. We
use the Biodex
Balance System
in conjunction
with the
aquatic
training and
standard
rehabilitation
protocols as a
cohesive rehab program. The Balance System
helps show the patients their instability... IT
PROVES IT TO THEM in black and white,
which allows us to begin working with them
before they fall.
The Biodex Balance System is used for
patients with a number of common diagnoses
including fall risk in older adults as well as
sports/orthopedics injuries, ankle sprains and
fractures, amputation and joint replacement.
In addition, the system is useful in treatment
of movement and neurological disorders
including stroke, head injury, Parkinson’s
disease, muscular dystrophy, multiple
sclerosis, balance/coordination /postural
weaknesses and cerebral palsy. Advantages of
the Biodex Balance System over traditional
balance therapy include biofeedback, objective
documentation, measurement and reporting of
postural stability and limits of stability, fall
risk assessment and normative data. Another
advantage is the system’s ability to offer both
static and dynamic capabilities.
“The degree of recovery a patient can achieve is
greater on a dynamic system than on a static
system,” Nobles added. “Traditional low-tech
methods can’t compare to the benefits of
Biodex.” The Biodex Balance System is available
to patients on an inpatient and outpatient basis.
Mercy Rehabilitation Hospital,
Mobile, AL
One of our patients, Josephina, a spunky
resident of 65+; had a severely broken leg
caused by an accident with two large dogs.
She underwent surgery in January 2008 where
doctors inserted pins and a plate into
Josephina’s leg and released her to The
Gardens Court for rehabilitation. Josephina
was non-ambulatory for over 8 weeks prior to
beginning rehab; she was depressed and
anxious to “get better”… to quote Josephina
“I can walk again, this machine is amazing, a
miracle...it is hard sometimes, but that is
good, it makes me work and I can see myself
getting better.”
The Gardens Court

“Jasen puts the focus of his practice on
preventing the injuries that often send
people to nursing homes, robbing them
of their independence.”
At The Beltrone Living Center in Colonie,
NY, an independent living facility operated by
Colonie Senior Services, a new model for
physical therapy has been in business for about
four months. Physical therapist Hector Jasen
operates HectorPT, a fullservice physical therapy
office that offers Beltrone
residents, and the public, a
fully-equipped physical
therapy facility that features
traditional PT services, and
a Balance System that no
one else in the Capital
District has to offer.
“In-house therapy is
unique,” says Jasen, “It’s definitely the new
trend in retirement communities. Therapists
can follow up with clients, and keep track of
changes. Sometimes it does not take much for
the elderly to decline and this way, things are
taken care of right away and a problem does not
escalate,” he explained. Neary and Jasen also
stressed that the services offered at HectorPT
are available to the public, not just to those
residing at the Beltrone. Having an office
located within an independent living facility is
not the only thing that makes HectorPT
unique.
Jasen puts the focus of his practice on
preventing the injuries that often send people
to nursing homes, robbing them of their
independence. Jean Myers, a Beltrone
resident, has fallen three times, and the last
one was a bad one. It left her with
polyneuropathy, a loss sensation in her feet,
and a lot of fear. Three weeks after that fall,
she stands on Jasen’s balance machine, and is
learning how to become stabilized and
strong. Because she does not have good
control of her feet, the ability to see how she
stands enables her to learn how to correct her
balance, and what proper balance feels like.
Jasen will then help her to translate that
feeling to real-world walking. Already, after
only a couple of sessions with Jasen, Myers
said she feels steadier on her feet than she has
dependent.

Play It S.A.F.E.
®
The Play It S.A.F.E.® Program consists of:
Step 1:
Concussion Management Education
• Support materials to educate athletes, coaches,
parents, administrators, doctors and clinicians,
including the CDC “Heads Up” Concussion in
Youth Sports Materials.*
The Play It S.A.F.E.®
Concussion Management Program
brings together cognitive and functional
assessment using accepted tools and
methods to afford you a “single source”
concussion management program.
Even for those facilities that have a
concussion program in-place, Play It
S.A.F.E.® adds the vital vestibular and
objective balance assessment recently found
so important in concussion assessment.
BENEFITS of the Play It S.A.F.E.®
• Easy-to-follow algorithm allows coaches, ATC's and
PT's to take full advantage of the program.
• Evidenced-based protocol facilitates medically
supported “return-to-play” decision process.
• Instrumented objective balance testing utilizing the
Biodex Balance System SD or the portable BioSway
allows quick and objective comparisons of test scores.
Step 2:
Preseason Baseline Testing
The ability to quantify balance and cognitive function
in athletes before an injury occurs is an important
consideration in a comprehensive athletic program.
The objective data provided by computerized
assessments provides a performance baseline against
which post-injury performance can be compared.
• Neuro-physical Testing: Get important baseline
balance data on all athletes using the Biodex Balance
System SD or portable BioSway. The tests are quick
and easy to perform.
The Clinical Test for Sensory Integration of Balance
(CTSIB) helps to determine which sensory system
(visual, vestibular, or somatosensory) an athlete relies on
to maintain balance. Research has shown that Mild
Head Injury (MHI) populations rely more on visual cues
from the environment than an able body population. 4
• Neuro-cognitive Testing: Fully complimentary to
any computerized cognitive software testing program
including: ImPACT™, Axon Sports CCAT,
CNS Vital Signs™, CSMI SportsWare™ Concussion,
HeadMinder™, SAC, SCAT2** or any program
of choice.
Step 3:
Sideline Assessment
Follow the Play It S.A.F.E.® Algorithm and Sideline
Assessment to screen for a concussion and remove the
athlete from play if needed. (See inset for details.)
• HIPPA compliant post-injury Summary Report
shows status, progress and outcomes of tests.
• Ongoing education and support with
print-on-demand protocols, graded symptom
checklist and educational materials round out the
program and keep you up to date.
NOTE: The CDC Heads Up Concussion Materials are included, but are also available free
at http://www.cdc.gov/concussion/headsup/youth.html.
**The SCAT2 is a free tool for evaluating concussion in athletes, included with the Play It
S.A.F.E.® program. It was developed by experts at the 3rd International Consensus on
Concussion in Sport in Zurich, Switzerland in November 2008. It is also available online.
DISCLAIMER: The information provided is not intended to be a substitute for
professional medical advice but as a guideline to assessing athletes following a
concussion. Always seek the care of a physician or other qualified healthcare provider
with any questions or concerns you may have about a medical condition. If there is
any question/concern about the athlete’s status then recommend not returning to play.
18
• Fully complimentary to any computerized cognitive
software testing program including: ImPACT™,
Axon Sports CCAT, CNS Vital Signs™,
CSMI SportsWare™ Concussion, HeadMinder™,
SAC, SCAT2** or any program of choice.
Step 4:
Follow-up Evaluation
• Repeat neuro-physical balance testing and neurocognitive testing in the days following injury to track
recovery using preseason baseline testing as a reference.
Step 5:
Return-to-Play Decision
• Doctors, athletes, parents, coaches and
administrators feel confident as decisions are based on
best practices objective data and clinical protocols.
Objective balance testing is critical
Research shows that athletes demonstrate decreased
stability up to three to five days post injury. This can
be the result of ineffective use of one or more of their
sensory systems.1 Signs and symptoms will vary
following head trauma. With some individuals, signs
and symptoms may resolve immediately after a mild
head injury (MHI) while others have persistent
symptoms. In either case, the recovery period related
to MHI appears to coincide with recovery of postural
stability as well as normalization of eye-head
coordination and return of cognitive function. 1
Recently, there is strong evidence demonstrating the
impact of balance deficits on functional performance
and increased risk of re-injury. (2,3,4)

RETURN PATIENTS TO A FUNCTIONAL GAIT
The Biodex Unweighing System allows functional gait patterns to be practiced.
Accommodates pediatric patients
Pelvic rotation is a critical component
of functional gait mechanics. As
patients progress in therapy, the Biodex
single-point suspension system allows
functional pelvic rotation to occur.
Vertical displacement is also a critical
component of functional gait mechanics.
The Biodex dynamic suspension system
allows up to 4" of vertical displacement
which enables the patient to respond to
ground reaction forces.
If pelvic stabilization is required,
the Biodex Unweighing System
includes Pelvic Stabilization
Straps to govern the degree of
pelvic rotation. Stabilization
straps are made of Thera-Band®
and adjustable nylon hooks.
The only mobile Unweighing System that provides quantifiable, dynamic partial weight-bearing therapy without electric motors,
weights or air compressors; plus a universally fitting support vest.
26
UNWEIGHING SYSTEM
Allows for functional vertical displacement and functional pelvic rotation or
stabilization during partial weight-bearing therapy
FEATURES:
• Dynamic suspension allows for natural vertical
displacement of center of
gravity
• Patented off-loading
mechanism - maintains
constant force; simply dial in
amount to off load
• Single-point suspension permits functional pelvic
rotation
• Unobstructed open access Offset design provides full
access for easy patient
interaction
• Attachment rings - on
support vest allow single or
two-point pelvic stabilization
when desired
• Low-effort manual
operation - no power cord,
no weights, no air compressor
• Adjustable and removable
patient handrails accommodates diverse patient
populations and allows for
easy treadmill access
• Unweighing Harness - fits a
variety of patients
• Adjustable height - can be
assembled at reduced height
for use in rooms with 8-foot
ceilings
• Adjustable suspension accommodates children and
adults
• Therapist seats - provide a
place to sit during assistive
exercise and provides a safer
environment for therapist
interaction
The Biodex Unweighing System
enables partial weight-bearing
therapy to be conducted with
the assurance of patient comfort
and safety, and with convenient
access to the patient for manual
assistance and observation.
Unlike the simple patient lift
devices, Biodex Unweighing
System incorporates a dynamic
suspension system that
NEW
accommodates the vertical
UNWEIGHING HARNESS
displacement of the center of
gravity that occurs during
normal gait. Biodex’s patented
off-loading mechanism
maintains constant force; simply
dial the amount to off load.
When walking, an individual’s
center of gravity typically moves
through a vertical range from
one to four inches, depending
on walking speed. The Biodex
system accommodates up to four
inches of vertical displacement
while maintaining a consistent
level of unweighing.
SPECIFICATIONS:
• Dimensions: 41.5" w x 50" depth x 106" h
(105 x 127 x 270 cm) accommodates
patients from pediatric up to 6’11" (210
cm) on a standard treadmill; alternate
height setting for facilities with low ceilings:
93.5" h (241 cm) accommodates patients
from pediatric up to 6’2" (188 cm) on a
standard treadmill
Another component of normal
gait is pelvic rotation. Twopoint suspension systems have a
tendency to restrict rotation on
the horizontal plane. They
respond to pelvic rotation
similar to the way a playground
swing undulates back to neutral
after being twisted. The singlepoint suspension of the Biodex
system allows unrestricted
pelvic rotation.
Patients can train for weightbearing ambulation without
compromising proper gait
kinematics. Should pelvic
stabilization be desired,
retention cords can be attached
to special attachment rings on
the sides of the support vest,
secured to the frame, and
adjusted for the specific degree
of pelvic stabilization.
The ability to allow rotation has
other advantages. When
training with a treadmill,
single-point suspension permits
functional pelvic rotation and
versatility when walking, sidestepping, retro-walking and
turning. With a Biodex
Unweighing System, the patient
can change direction without
repositioning the entire patient
support system.

NEW UNWEIGHING HARNESS
Effectively solves the slippage problem
• Accommodates children to adults – 25" - 60" torso
• Gives patients the comfort they need to sustain lengthy therapy sessions
• Durable construction - no plastic buckles to break.
• Can be used with any Body Weight Support System that accommodates
open connection hardware (D or O Rings)
Designed to provide vertical lift through three shared points of pressure, the
NEW Biodex Unweighing Harness improves comfort and prevents slippage
without limiting lower extremity range of motion. Patient and clinicians alike know
that the comfort of the harness can make or break the therapy session. By sharing the
offload burden through the hip straps, gluteal fold straps and the lumbar-thoracic
harness, patients are more comfortable using the Unweighing System for extended
periods.
To solve the common slippage problem associated with traditional vests, the
NEW Biodex Unweighing Harness employs combined elements from parachutes,
rock climbing, safety and rescue, and even kite sailing gear. A torso wrap, worn
beneath the harness, is a simple solution to negate any slipping from clothing issues
while providing support and comfort. This one single harness accommodates
children with a 25" torso up to adults with a 60" torso.
SPECIFICATIONS:
• Torso Circumference: adjustable from 25" to 60" (64 to 154 cm)

WHAT DO YOU HAVE WHEN YOU COMBINE
THE GAIT TRAINER WITH UNWEIGHING?
THE BIODEX GAIT TRAINING SYSTEM
+
“One of the major considerations for stroke patients is to develop
symmetry of walking in a functional velocity. The Gait Trainer
encourages the patient toward symmetry. My patients have
benefited from the symmetry by the use of the target settings,
which prompts them to stretch out with the unaffected leg. Patients
capable of evoking an overlearned or central pattern generator
response have a much easier time once they approach a one cycle per
second time because it does not require focused concentration.
In essence, gait training may actually be a process of creating a
feeling of security and thereby reduce the tendency to walk
slowly. This feeling of confidence, without the struggle to hold
TREADMILL TRAINING
“One example of neural plasticity is the improvement seen in locomotion
of patients with stroke or spinal cord injury through partial body weight
supported treadmill training. This rapidly
developing form of therapy is based on two
fundamental observations. First, that the spinal
cord of all vertebrates, including man, contains
neuronal circuitry that encoded the locomotor
pattern, and which can be activated by
stimulation at supraspinal, suprasegmental, or
segmental levels or even by intrathecal drug
administration. The activation of locomotor
circuitry does not therefore require momentto-moment control of individual muscles by
the brain. The second observation was that
repeated activation of the central pattern
generating circuit by treadmill training could
result in long lasting enhancement of locomotor
output. In human trials, this resulted in improved locomotion
months and even years after training was discontinued.”
Excerpt from: The Role of Neural Plasticity in Neurorehabilitation
Michael E. Selzer, MD, PhD., Associate Dean of Graduate Education
University of Pennsylvania Medical College,USA
=
themselves up, permits them to focus on making even steps.
Meanwhile the therapist can increase belt speed as step length
and speed of the affected lower limb permits.
Attaining a cycle velocity that is faster than 1.6 seconds
typically evokes a more symmetrical pattern of leg motions.
The last phase involves decreasing the unweighing but
maintaining the velocity at an optimal level. Should the gait
become asymmetric again, the unweighing could be increased,
but the velocity maintained. Make sure the patient does not
incline the trunk forward to increase velocity.”
Arthur J. Nelson, Ph.D, F.A.P.T.A.,

VA HOSPITAL STUDY*
SUPPORTS THE CONCEPT OF THE
BIODEX UNWEIGHING SYSTEM
“If the system does not allow for vertical movements,
gait is markedly distorted. The subject may still be able
to move on the treadmill, since the walking surface is
moving below him, but this unnatural gait is not the goal
of therapy.”
SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS:
- Support up to 40% of patient’s body weight
- Allow for 5.5 cm of vertical movement to permit normal gait
- Report reliably to ensure the correct degree of unloading
- Enable easy adjustment to the amount of body weight support
as the subject improves or fatigues during a training exercise
Biodex satisfies VA Hospital Recommendations.

reduces joint impact because the
user is not required to lift and
strike their feet on the walking
surface. By combining lower
extremity motion with upper
body, the BioStep provides a
total body workout in both
forward and reverse directions,
thereby involving different
muscle groups. The Clinical Pro
model includes isokinetic
resistance, which is totally
accommodating and proven to
be the most effective resistance
for rehabilitation and
strengthening.
Ideal for Older Adults
Low-impact total body exercise
is ideal for senior fitness. The
low-impact elliptical motion of
the BioStep reduces the jarring
impact often associated with the
stop-start motion so common
with other recumbent steppers.
The BioStep motion also helps
strengthen the muscles
important to maintaining
function; those muscles
specifically associated with
mobility, walking and balance.
APPLICATIONS:
Wellness and Fitness Clubs,
Orthopedic/Sports Medicine,
Cardiac Rehabilitation,
Neurorehabilitation, Senior
Centers and more
Great for Cardiac Rehabilitation
BioStep incorporates both the
upper and lower extremities into
the cycling motion; patients
experience less local muscle
fatigue. This allows similar heart
rates to be achieved at lower rates
of perceived exertion when
compared to traditional exercise
ergometers. Blood pressures can
be checked while the patient
continues to exercise by simply
releasing one arm while the other
three extremities comfortably
continue to perform the exercise.
Patients who may experience leg
claudication during exercise can
easily reduce effort in the involved
leg, while keeping heart rate
elevated, by transferring workload
to the non-involved extremities.
Recent study validates BioStep as a
new exercise device that older
adults will find very tolerable.
In a recent study by Mendelsohn,
Connelly, Overend and Petrella,
published in the Journal of Aging
and Physical Activity, April 2007, the
BioStep was shown to be a valid and
reliable aerobic exercise device. If you
are looking for an effective device for
exercise testing and training in an
older population… look no further.

User-Friendly
The “Quick-Start” feature gets
your first-time cyclists right into
their exercises. Isokinetic (speed
control) provides accommodating
resistance throughout the cyclist’s
entire range of motion for the
duration of the exercise period.
Resistance continuously matches
effort, accommodating to
variations in the patient’s force
output due to weakness or pain at
specific points in the individual’s
range of motion, and to fatigue
over the course of the cycling
period. With a selection of 15
speeds (50 to 120 deg/sec), this
resistance mode maximizes
strength gains while minimizing
the potential for injury.
