1. INTRODUCTION

Designed specifically for rehabilitation purposes, the Biodex RTM 400 Rehabilitation Treadmill
provides unparalleled speed control and durability, incline and decline in both forward and
reverse directions, digital feedback, a neat, trim, low profile, a choice of handrail configurations.
An easy-to use numeric display allows the user to get the patient up and moving in a
matter of seconds.
The RTM 400 allows patients to walk, jog and run as they exercise every muscle targeted in their
personalized rehabilitation program. Optional handrail configurations allow clinicians to tailor
the treadmill for various applications including physical therapy/sports medicine, car-
diac/pulmonary rehabilitation, geriatric and pediatric conditioning, and use with neurological
patients.
Additionally, 4Q Pulse Width Modulation motor control, the same motor control that helped
make the Biodex Dynamometer the worldwide choice for extremity testing and rehabilitation,
provides more consistent speed control than either AC or DC treadmill models can ever hope to
attain. With track speeds of 0-10 mph (16.9 Km/h) in forward and 0-3 mph (4.8 Km/h) in
reverse, a zero starting speed, the ability to change speeds in .1-mph (.2-Km/h) increments, easy
to read displays and touch-key operation, PWM motor control and a choice of handrail configu-
rations, the RTM 400 is among the safest and most versatile treadmills available today.
