Improves patient outcomes
Safe Patient Handling and MobilityThe need is clear. A startling 62% of PTs and 56% of PTAs reported injury to the low back while assisting patients1 and for stroke patients alone, as many as 39% were reported to have fallen during inpatient rehabilitation2.
Biodex FreeStep SAS is an overhead track and harness system that provides a safe ambulation environment for both therapist and patient. Without the fear of falling, patients can focus more fully on their tasks of gait and balance. Likewise, therapists can focus on assisting, rather than supporting.
Custom Configuration – to suit your facility and need
Biodex FreeStep SAS can be custom configured to your facility, complementing the existing equipment floor plan. Install as a simple loop for continuous ambulation over stairs or through parallel bars, or add side branches for equipment-specific stations to include treadmill exercise or balance training.
Whatever material is behind your ceiling, FreeStep SAS can be installed... wood beam, steel or even concrete. Standard installation can support up to 750 lb per, or two 375 patients on one 8-foot track. Th
