The innovative Biodex NXSTEP Unweighing System transforms partial weight-bearing therapy with its versatile design and advanced features. It empowers therapists to precisely tailor treatments by enabling functional vertical displacement and pelvic rotation or stabilization.
One remarkable feature is its full patient access. The open frame design fosters therapist facilitation while providing patients with an unobstructed forward view, boosting confidence and engagement during therapy sessions. Therapists effortlessly adjust the system’s height and set the unweighing load with one-handed control, enhancing efficiency and ease of use.
To ensure safety and consistency, the system automatically compensates for harness slippage with its Auto Unload feature, mitigating any movement due to slippage or changes in posture. The newly designed hand-held remote attaches magnetically anywhere on the frame, offering convenient access for therapists.
Safety is prioritized with dynamic, single-point suspension, eliminating the need for therapist support and reducing the risk of personal injury. Pelvic stabilization options include single- or two-point stabilization, supported by retention cords for added security.
The system accommodates a wide range of patients, catering to both pediatric and adult users, with adjustments available for individuals up to 6′ 3″ when standing over a treadmill with a 7″ step-up. Therapists can effortlessly adjust the seating arrangement, moving the therapist seat along the base of the frame or from side-to-side for optimal positioning.
Handrails are easily removable for targeted balance training exercises, offering flexibility and customization options. Additionally, the system’s collapsible design facilitates easy transport from room to room, collapsing to just 32″ wide to fit through standard door frames. Overall, the Biodex NXSTEP Unweighing System sets a new standard in partial weight-bearing therapy, combining safety, comfort, and versatility for both therapists and patients alike.
