Free Wheeling; Jogging - biodex NxSTEP 950-485 Instructions For Use And Assembly

Free Wheeling

Figure 3.9. The NxStep ready for free-wheeling across the floor.
The NxStep can be used over the floor or with other exercise devices. Be aware of the
adjustments required when moving from one device to another. For example, when stepping
down from a treadmill, the step-up height of the treadmill must be taken into account; the
harness bar will need to be lowered. The opposite is true when going from the floor to the
treadmill.
When traveling across the floor there is no need to spin the entire unweighing system around
when the patient runs out of floor space. Simply turn the patient around and move in the
opposite direction.
CAUTION: When using the NxStep 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.

Jogging

The dynamic suspension provides ample dynamics to allow patients to walk briskly or even
jog while attached to the NxStep.
