    3. PARTS AND ADJUSTMENTS (Refer to Figure 1.) Figure 1: Parts and adjustment mechanisms. The BioStep and BioStep Clinical Pro includes the following parts and adjustment mechanisms: 1. Display panel 2. Adjustable arms 3. Seat front-to-back release handle 4. Seat front-to-back scale 5.

  • Page 8: Quick-Start Operation

    4. QUICK-START OPERATION The Biodex BioStep is easy to adjust for user comfort. The seat can be moved forward or back and the arms adjust, too. The following section explains how to adjust your BioStep for opti- mum user comfort and positioning. Seat Front-to-Back Adjustment: The seat can be moved forward or back over a range of 15"...
  • Page 9 4. QUICK-START OPERATION Although the BioStep offers advanced programming capability, it also features a “Quick-Start” function that allows the user to immediately begin exercise 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.

  • Page 10: Basic Operation

    5. BASIC OPERATION Figure 2. The BioStep Clinical Pro Display Panel. Figure 3. The BioStep Display Panel. (Refer to Figures 2 and 3.) Quick-Start mode is perfect for acquainting subjects with the BioStep. It gets the user up and exercising in about five seconds. More experienced users, however, will likely prefer the ability to personalize their exercise or rehabilitation routine as described below.

  • Page 11: Display Parameters

    6. DISPLAY PARAMETERS With the system turned ON, seat the user, adjust the seat forward and back position and foot pedal straps as necessary, and proceed as follows: NOTE: Steps one through five, below, correspond to the numbered keys on the display. 1.
  • Page 12 6. DISPLAY PARAMETERS The top window of the display panel offers readouts for common parameters of exercise and training interest. For the Biostep, these parameters include Time, WATTs, Calories, METs and Heart Rate with work rate shown in RPMs. For the BioStep Clinical Pro, display parameters include Time, RPM, WATTs, Calories, METs and Heart Rate with work rate shown in WATTs.

  • Page 13: Selecting The Resistance Mode

    7. SELECTING THE RESISTANCE MODE (Clinical Pro Only) The BioStep Clinical Pro provides two modes of operation: Constant Resistance Control and Isokinetic Speed Control. Either mode is selected using the <Select Exercise> key. The BioStep Clinical Pro defaults to Constant Resistance Control. Pressing the <Select Exercise> key will let you toggle between the two choices.

  • Page 14: Selecting And Customizing Exercise Profiles

    8. SELECTING AND CUSTOMIZING EXERCISE PROFILES Just what is “totally accommodating, variable resistance?” Simply put, this means that at any point in the range of motion (in this case, the stepping revolution) the resistance encountered by the user will exactly match the force exerted. In other words, the harder one pushes on the pedal, the greater the resistance.

  • Page 15: Constant Resistance Profile Examples

    8. SELECTING AND CUSTOMIZING EXERCISE PROFILES The BioStep and BioStep Clinical Pro features five pre-programmed exercise protocols. These can be used in conjunction with over 30 resistance levels for Constant Resistance Control or 20 speed settings for Isokinetic Speed Control applications (Clinical Pro only). Each pre-programmed exercise protocol can be used as is, or can be customized by changing the weight, time, speed or resistance level values.

  • Page 16: Selecting & Customizing Exercise Profiles

    CONTENTS 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 level 9 (20 x 45%) Initial Low = 13 (20 x 65%) First High = 20 (peak resistance) Second Low = 13 (20 x 65%)
  • Page 17 CONTENTS Constant Resistance 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 resistance level or the minimum resistance for the first three segments produced in the resistance bar, whichever is greater.
  • Page 18 CONTENTS Anaerobic Interval Training The starting segment (1, warm-up) and ending segment (14, cool down) are set at 45% of select- ed peak resistance level or the minimum resistance for the first three segments produced in the resistance bar, whichever is greater. Low level segments, (3,5,7,9,11,13) are set at 65% of selected peak resistance.

  • Page 19: Isokinetic Profiles Defined

    CONTENTS ISOKINETIC PROFILES DEFINED (Clinical Pro Only) Minimum time is six minutes for all profiles, target resistance level LED will flash during time duration for that segment. All segments following warm up are based on the actual work rate performed in the immediate previous segment. Constant Resistance (Manual Mode) Speed is consistent for the duration of this profile.
  • Page 20 9. SRC OPTIONS Aerobic Interval Training The starting segment (1, warm-up) is however hard the patient chooses to work. Initial Low level equals 25% more than the average actual work rate performed in the warm-up segment. First High level equals 100% more than the average actual work rate performed in the initial low level.

  • Page 21: Heart Rate Monitoring

    9. HEART RATE MONITORING Third High Level equals 300% more than the average actually work rate performed in the Second Low level. Third Low Level equals 75% less than the average actual work rate performed at the Third High Level. Fourth High Level equals 300% more than the average actually work rate performed in the Third Low level.

  • Page 22: Heart Rate Chart

    9. HEART RATE MONITORING HEART RATE MONITORING The BioStep’s Heart Rate Monitoring feature allows clinicians to monitor user heart rate during exercise sessions. This can be done using the heart rate contact handgrips, or by attaching the wireless Polar heart rate monitor belt directly to the patient. Heart Rate Contact Handgrips To use the heart rate contact handgrips for heart rate monitoring, the patient needs only to grasp both BioStep heart rate contact handgrips while exercising.

  • Page 23: Additional Considerations

    10. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS NOTE: If the heart rate is not displayed, or appears to be incorrect, adjust the Heart Rate Chest Strap for improved conductivity, or have the patient reposition both hands on the heart rate handle bar. (You may want to take the user’s pulse rate manually and compare it against the displayed heart rate to confirm accuracy.

  • Page 24: What Is A Met

    10. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS CAUTION: As with any other piece of user-interactive exercise equipment, certain considerations must be ensured before anyone is allowed to exercise on the Biodex BioStep. Following is a brief summary of some points to consider. 1. All users should have medical clearance prior to undertaking any rigorous exercise program. This is especially necessary for any user with a past history of heart rate problems or known risk factors including: family history of cardiovascular disease, elevated blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, obesity, sedentary lifestyle and smoking.

    CONTENTS BIODEX ERGOMETERS SUPPORT METs AND AID EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION FOR BOTH CARDIOPULMONARY 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 schemic changes in the heart muscle and/or inappropriate arrhythmias).
  • Page 26 CONTENTS NOTA – Comme pour tout autre équipement d’exercice interactif avec l’usager, on doit s’assurer du respect de certaines considérations avant de permettre à quiconque de s’exercer sur l’appareil BioStep de Biodex. Voici un bref aperçu de certains points dont il faut tenir compte. 1.
  • Page 27 CONTENTS QU’EST-CE QU’UN MET? L’acronyme MET signifie « équivalent métabolique ». Le MET sert d’unité de mesure pour estimer l’ Resistance demandé au système cardiopul- monaire d’une personne. On utilise souvent les MET pour prescrire des exercices à des patients en cours de réadaptation cardiopulmonaire.
