Problem & injury risk
Due to overloading and/or fall :
Bruises
N
Sprains and torns
N
Skin abrasions
N
Injuries of the muscoskeletal system (joints,
N
tendons, ligaments, muscles, bones)
Fractures, in worst case (e.g. broken neck)
N
resulting in death.
Overload of the cardiovascular system in extreme
situations with cardiac arrest and death as possible
worst case senario.
In case of correct load dosing (according to the clinical picture and condition of the patient) and intended use, the risks
are comparable to the risks of walking / running on the ground: falling off the treadmill with skin abrasions, bruises, torn
ligaments, fractures and in worst case fatal injury such as a broken neck.
