BIODEX BALANCE SYSTEM
The Biodex Balance System has been designed to meet the needs of those looking to improve balance, increase agility, develop muscle tone and treat a wide variety of pathologies. Featuring easy-to-follow touchscreen operation, the Balance System is simple to learn and operate. This balance system is used for both assessment and treatment. It tests balance in four different ways: postural stability, limits of stability, single leg stability, and fall risk testing.
This Balance System is the only system that provides a comprehensive and accurate Fall Risk Screening and Conditioning Program and Protocol, consistent with American Geriatrics Guidelines for older adults. Identify a person at risk to fall in just two minutes by comparing their balance test results to age-dependent normative data.
NUSTEP CROSS TRAINER
The Nustep Cross Trainer is highly recommended by physicians for older patients. No matter whether you have difficulties with your hips or joints, or have almost any other mobility difficulties, the NuStep range can still allow you to get a good workout. This will help to keep your muscles strong and improve blood circulation throughout your body. The workout is a natural motion that is easy on the hip and knee joints in a biomechanically correct workout position. It allows for Total Body Conditioning of the cardiovascular and muscular systems.
By working over the entire body’s muscles whilst also mimicking the natural movement of the legs, the NuStep is able to help your body get used to these movements once again. As such, it can be of great assistance when trying to regain the full capabilities of your arms or legs during rehabilitation.
