Figure 3.8. The NxStep ready for use with the Biodex Gait Trainer.
The NxStep can be positioned for use with treadmills to 38" w and 13.5'' h (97 x 34 cm).
1. Remove handrails (if treadmill has its own handrails) and unlock all casters.
2. Roll the NxStep into position ensuring the patient harness bar is closest to the control
panel end of the treadmill. The treadmill control panel should be easily accessible.
3. Position the patient in the center of the treadmill belt and closer to the front than the back
of the treadmill deck.
4. Lock all four casters and proceed with treadmill use.
CAUTION: When using the NxStep Unweighing System with a treadmill, the
steering casters should be positioned at the rear of the treadmill. This will make it
easier to maneuver around the treadmill deck.
