They are especially well-suited for treating weak or deconditioned persons who cannot, or should not, use a standard cycle. The Biodex SRC and SRC Clinical Pro cycles feature two modes of exercise operation: Isokinetic Speed Control and Constant Power Effort Control. Because the internal battery is automatically recharged when work rates reach or exceed 30 watts and 50 RPM, the cycles can be used in the gym, at the clinic or on the sidelines –...
2. PARTS AND ADJUSTMENTS (Refer to Figure 1.) Figure 1: The Biodex Semi-Recumbent Cycle Clinical Pro parts and adjustment mechanisms. The Semi- Recumbent Cycle parts and adjustment are similar except for having a standard pedal with adjustable footstrap and no seat rotation.

2. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS The Biodex SRC is easy to adjust for patient comfort. The seat can be moved forward or back and the pedal straps can be tightened or loosened for a comfortable and secure fit. The follow- ing section explains how to adjust your bike for optimum patient comfort and positioning.

Adjustable Pedal Cranks (Clinical Pro only): Adjustable pedal cranks can be used to allow patients with limited knee flexion to begin their cycling program earlier. Standard pedal crank lengths typically require 110 to 115 degrees of knee flexion to complete full pedal revolutions. Adjustable pedal cranks let patients perform complete revolutions with as little as 80 to 90 degrees of flexion.
3. QUICK-START OPERATION Although the SRC offers advanced programming capability, it also features a "Quick-Start" func- tion that allows the user to immediately begin cycling with factory preset default values serving for the programmable system parameters. Quick-Start operation is simple. Seat the user, adjust the seat forward and back position and foot pedal straps as necessary, and proceed as described below: 1.

6. Grasp the SRC fixed handlebars or heart rate contact handgrips, and begin pedaling. NOTE: The Biodex Semi-Recumbent Cycle begins collecting data as soon as the subject begins to pedal. Once data collection begins, the system scrolls through the settings at the top left side of the display panel.
5. DISPLAY PARAMETERS The top window of the display panel offers readouts for common parameters of exercise and training interest. These parameters listed on the left side of the top section of the display and include Time, Revolutions Per Minute (RPM), Watts, Calories, METS and Heart Rate (optional). As you pedal, the system displays values for each parameter in the display window.
6. SELECTING THE RESISTANCE MODE The Biodex SRC provides two modes of operation: Constant Power Effort Control and Isokinetic Speed Control. Either mode is selected using the <Select Exercise> (4) key. Standard SRC’s default to Constant Power Effort Control while SRC Clinical Pro’s with optional retro-cycling default to Isokinetic Speed Control.
Page 13
CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS Isokinetic Speed Control provides accommodating resistance throughout the subject’s entire pedaling range of motion for the duration of the exercise period. Resistance continuously match- es effort, accommodating to variations in the subject’s force output due to weakness or pain at specific points in the range of motion, and to fatigue over the course of the cycling period.
7. SELECTING AND CUSTOMIZING EXERCISE PROFILES The Biodex Semi-Recumbent Cycle features five pre-programmed exercise protocols. These can be used in conjunction with over 30 effort levels for Constant Power Effort Control or 20 speed settings for Isokinetic Speed Control applications.
5. SPECIFICATIONS With a Peak Effort Level of "20" (200 WATTS), a Constant Power Aerobic Interval Training Profile will appear like the following example. (Refer to next page for profile definition): Peak Effort Level: 20 (200 WATTS) Warm Up at 20 WATTS (200 x 10%) Initial Low = 50 WATTS (200 x 25%)* First High = 200 WATTS (Peak Effort Level) Second Low = 50 (200 x 25%)
Page 16
CONTENTS Constant Effort Level with Warm-Up and Cool Down The starting segment (1, warm-up) and ending segment (3, cool down) are set at 25% of selected peak effort level or the minimum effort for the first three segments produced in the effort bar, whichever is greater.
Page 17
CONTENTS Anaerobic Interval Training The starting segment (1, warm-up) and ending segment (14, cool down) are set at 10% of select- ed peak effort level or the minimum effort for the first three segments produced in the effort bar, whichever is greater. Low level segments, (3,5,7,9,11,13) are set at 25% of selected peak effort. High level segments, (2,4,6,8,10,12) are the selected peak effort level.
CONTENTS ISOKINETIC PROFILES DEFINED Minimum time is six minutes for all profiles, target effort level LED will flash during time dura- tion for that segment. All segments following warm up are based on the actual work rate per- formed in the immediate previous segment. Constant Power (Manual Mode) Speed is consistent for the duration of this profile.
Page 19
CONTENTS Aerobic Interval Training 1. The starting segment (1, warm-up) is however hard the patient chooses to work. 2. Initial Low level equals 25% more than the average actual work rate performed in the warm-up segment. 3. First High level equals 100 % more than the average actual work rate performed in the initial low level.

9. SRC OPTIONS 6. Third High Level equals 300% more than the average actually work rate performed in the Second Low level. 7. Third Low Level equals 75% less than the average actual work rate performed at the Third High Level. 8.
8. SRC CLINICAL PRO HEART RATE MONITORING HEART RATE MONITORING The SRC’s optional Heart Rate Monitoring allows clinicians to monitor user heart rate during exercise sessions. This can be done using the optional heart rate contact handgrips, or by attach- ing an optional wireless heart-rate monitor directly to the patient.
10. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS The following chart depicts standard Target Heart Rate ranges for optimum cardiovascular ben- efit. While this chart may be used as a guide for heart rate-healthy users, clinicians must be sure to set the Target Heart Rate based on individual patient protocol. CAUTION: When prescribed for therapeutic purposes, a physician should clearly define the parameters of use (i.e., total work, maximum heart rate, etc.) to reduce the risk of patient injury.

As with any other piece of user-interactive rehabilitation equipment, certain clinical con- siderations must be ensured before anyone is allowed to exercise on the Biodex SRC or SRC Clinical Pro. Following is a brief summary of some points to consider.
10. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE PROCEDURES 3. Avant de commencer toute séance díexercice, síassurer que le patient est assis confortable- ment. Veiller au réglage de la hauteur du siège, de líavance-recul du siège, de líangle du guidon, ainsi que des courroies de pédale, au besoin. Les réglages mécaniques sont décrits dans la section Réglages mécaniques du présent manuel.

CONTENTS BIODEX ERGOMETERS SUPPORT METS AND AID EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION FOR BOTH CARDIOPULMONARY REHABILITATION AND MEDICAL FITNESS A cardiac stress test typically reports the max MET level achieved by the patient and/or the MET level achieved at the point the test turned positive (often demonstrating ischemic changes in the heart muscle and/or inappropriate arrhythmias).
