The training movement in the LTE consists of a segmental back extension motion that can be targeted to a specific region according to the individual needs. The DBC footplate positioning is designed to limit movement in the hip and pelvic region, ensuring that the influence of the large muscle groups in the legs, the hamstrings and gluteals, are minimized in the specified back extension training movement. The goal of this isolated extension movement is to achieve a vertebrae by vertebrae motion through the lumbar and lower thoracic spine.
