Pelvic Stabilization Straps (Retention Cords)

NOTE: Using the Biodex Standard Unweighing Harness for additional pelvic support is covered
in a video that is offered at www.biodex.com/harness.

body weight support activities. Place the strap loops around the handrails and place the hooks
in the rings on the patient harness.

Using the Unweighing Harness

CAUTION: The NxStep uses a special harness to support the patient. It is vital
that the harness fits properly on the patient. Refer to the video available at
www.biodex.com/harness.
The NxStep can be used with most two-point harnesses. The harness that is supplied with
your NxStep provides maximum support for patients needing consistent body weight
unloading. It also provides increased trunk stability. A two-panel design allows for a wide
range of adjustability and easy application in sitting and supine positions, while a unique
pelvic support piece prevents excessive pressure in the groin area. The harness fits most
patients (waist size 24-54".) Maximum weight capacity is 300 lbs (136 kg).
