Not everyone has the balance, mobility and strength to be able to use
an exercise bike, a treadmill or a regular cross trainer. The
American-developed NuStep® is an optimal solution to this challenge! The
combination of a recumbent cross trainer and step machine creates
security and safety for the patient with a form of training that
challenges strength, heart rate and cross-coordination at the right
level.
Offering functional and compensation-free training in a safe
position, NuStep® trains the body through natural movements that
strengthen the arms, legs, upper body and back. The movement patterns go
back and forth and are not cyclical or elliptical like a stationary
cycle or standard cross trainer. The variable step length ensures
compensation-free training where the patient is not forced into extreme
positions. Meanwhile, the load in all movements can be adjusted so that
the training fits the current need exactly – even for patients with
impaired or reduced function.
The ability to train safely and independently with NuStep® is very
rewarding for both the therapist and the patient. The safe position
gives the therapist the freedom to observe and provide guidance, and for
the patient it means more training time.
