Multiple applications
Spinal cord injury
Objective: To reduce spasticity and regain a functional gait thanks to partial load therapy.
Method: Initial support without weighing up to 40% of body weight. As the patient begins to demonstrate step symmetry, body weight support may be decreased. When used with a treadmill or Biodex Gait Trainer, and the support is reduced to 20% of body weight, the speed of the treadmill belt can be increased to develop functional step length and speed.
Results and Benefits: Rehabilitation can begin within the first 1 to 3 months of onset when there is greater central nervous system plasticity and greater potential for recovery. An improved gait is achieved in an upright position and fully supported by repetitive and rhythmic movements of the treadmill or Biodex Gait Trainer. Effective, efficient and safe use of clinician time. Allows you to focus on the treatment, without physically supporting the patient. When used with a treadmill or Biodex Gait Trainer: Better recovery from walking with transferred effects to improve walking speed on the ground, endurance and physical assistance required to walk.
Cerebrovascular accident / traumatic brain injury
Objective: To regain a functional gait thanks to a partial load therapy.
Method: Initial support without weighing, up to 40% of body weight. As the patient begins to demonstrate step symmetry, body weight may be reduced. When used with a treadmill or Biodex Gait Trainer and the support is reduced to 20% of body weight, the speed of the treadmill belt may be increased to develop cadence.
Results and Benefits: Rehabilitation can begin within the first 1 to 3 months of onset when there is greater central nervous system plasticity and greater potential for recovery. and the rhythmic movements of the treadmill or Biodex Gait Trainer. Efficient, efficient and safe use of clinician time. Allows you to focus on the treatment, without physically supporting the patient.
When used with a treadmill or Biodex Gait Trainer: Better recovery from walking with transferred effects to improve walking speed on the ground, endurance and physical assistance required to walk.
Parkinson's disease
Objective: To regain a functional gait thanks to a partial load therapy.
Method: Initial support without weighing is up to 40% of body weight. Once supported, the patient can perform balance and gait training exercises, such as weight changes. When used with the Biodex Gait Trainer, audio and visual signals are used to aid in the reconversion of temporal and spatial deficits associated with Parkinson's gait.
Results and Benefits: Improved Stride Length Maintain / Improve Cardiopulmonary Endurance Efficient, efficient and safe use of clinician time. Allows you to focus on the treatment, without physically supporting the patient.
Lumbar patients
Objective: To regain pelvic rotation and provide vertical traction in conjunction with exercise.
Method: When used with a treadmill inclined at 3% grade, the weighing system will provide vertical traction. The inclined treadmill brings the pelvis into a forward inclined position allowing the intervertebral foramen to open and reduce compression on the associated nerve (s). Once supported, the patient can perform walking and balance exercises.
Results and Benefits: Reduced compression on peripheral nerves Improved exercise tolerance Ability to exercise longer on a treadmill, providing increased core stabilization and postural muscle endurance.
Older Adult
Objective: To regain a functional gait thanks to a partial load therapy.
Method: Support the patient in the Biodex weighing system. When supported, the patient can perform walking and balance exercises.
Results and Benefits: Improved Confidence Improved Exercise Tolerance Transfer of the benefits of training to activities of daily living Maintain or regain independence
Amputation of the lower limb
Objective: To regain a functional gait thanks to a partial load therapy.
Method: Initial support without weighing is up to 30% of body weight. Once supported, the patient can make early weight changes. When the patient begins to practice gait, the clinician helps to position the foot.
Results and Benefits: Reduced pain Stump hardening begins earlier and more gradually Cardiac and metabolic demands are reduced Efficient, efficient and safe use of clinician time Allows you to focus on the treatment, without physically supporting the patient.
Orthopedic patients
Objective: To develop proprioception and acceptance of weight-bearing after joint injury, surgical repairs or replacements through partial-weight-bearing therapy.
Method: Initial support without weighing is up to 40% of body weight. Once supported, the patient can perform balance and gait training exercises, such as weight changes. Reduce bodyweight support as the patient regains range of motion and begins mini-squats and other weight-bearing activities.
Results and Benefits: Rehabilitation can begin earlier. Improve proprioception and acceptance of weight-bearing activities.
Functional vertical displacement and functional pelvic rotation or stabilization during partial load therapy.
The NxStep unweighing system offers:
Full patient access - open frame design encourages therapist facilitation and frees up a clear front view for patients
One-handed control - press a button to raise or lower the patient; another to adjust the non-weighing load
Against slippage of the harness - Automatic unloading function compensates for potential movements of the harness due to slipping or changes in posture
Convenient control - the newly designed portable remote control can be magnetically attached anywhere on the frame
Safe environment - dynamic single point suspension is safer for patients and eliminates the need for therapist support and the risk of injury
Pelvic stabilization - possible as one or two point stabilization with retention cords
Large and Small - from pediatric to 6 '3 "when standing over a treadmill with a 7" rise, like the Gait Trainer 3
Be comfortable - the therapist's seat can easily be moved along the base of the frame or side to side. A second seat is available separately
Handrails as needed - easily removable for specific balance training exercise
PRoom-to-Room - Folds down to 32 '' (81cm) wide to fit standard door frames
Restore functional mobility
The Biodex NxStep ™ Suspension System provides partial load therapy with open patient access. Unloading a percentage of body weight allows for early rehabilitation while providing a safe environment for the patient and therapist. Therapists can focus on treating their patients, manually easing the lower limbs.
Gait kinematics
The NxStep ™ suspension system allows full and partial weight loading without compromising proper gait kinematics. Depending on walking speed, up to four inches of vertical displacement is allowed while the system maintains a constant level of no weighing.
The Biodex Gait training system
The Gait Trainer 3 treadmill provides audio cues and visual biofeedback of step length and speed. The NxStep Suspension System provides partial body weight support, helping patients regain confidence, strength and stride. The NxStep suspension system, combined with the Gait Trainer 3 treadmill, allows each patient to start rehabilitation earlier.
Visibilité 360 degrés
La conception unique et orientée vers l'avant du NxStep offre de nombreux avantages. Les thérapeutes peuvent voir les patients sous tous les angles; les patients ont une visibilité complète de l'écran du tapis roulant et la conception ouverte permet un balancement naturel des bras, un élément essentiel pour encourager la neuroplasticité.
Liberté de mouvement
La suspension dynamique en un seul point du NxStep permet la rotation pelvienne et le déplacement vertical. Cet encouragement à une bonne mécanique permet de pratiquer des schémas de marche fonctionnels. La capacité de permettre la rotation pelvienne a ses propres avantages. Contrairement aux systèmes de suspension à deux points qui ont tendance à restreindre la rotation sur un plan horizontal, la méthode à point unique de NxStep permet une rotation pelvienne fonctionnelle et une polyvalence lors de la marche, des pas de côté, de la rétro-marche et des virages. Les patients peuvent s'engager dans des exercices de contrôle postural réactif ou changer de direction sans repositionner l'ensemble du système de soutien.
Manipulation sécuritaire
Bien qu'il soit essentiel d'investir dans l'équipement et la formation pour prévenir les chutes des patients, il est tout aussi important de protéger les thérapeutes, les infirmières en réadaptation, les soignants et la famille en visite contre les blessures lorsqu'ils tentent de soulever ou de soutenir un patient. Les dispositifs électriques d'assistance au levage favorisent la rééducation et facilitent la récupération fonctionnelle - tout en maintenant des conditions de sécurité.
