As the patient walks, the cables at the front assist the movement of the legs with support. The cables at the rear can be used also as resistance and for gait correction training. Both the front and back system can be utilized together for even greater training effects. By adjusting the angle of the support/resistance cables either vertically or horizontally, movement correction is possible. The patented tension adjustment module involves readable scales on each cable for tension monitoring.
how does the h/p/cosmos robowalk® expander work?
First, elastic cables are attached to patient´s legs with comfortable leg cuffs. As the patient walks on the treadmill, the cables at the front assist the movement of the legs with support. The cables at the rear can be used also for rehabilitation on the treadmill - as resistance and for gait correction training. Both the front and back system can be utilized together for even greater training effects on the treadmill. By adjusting the angle of the support/resistance cables either vertically or horizontally, movement correction is possible. The patented tension adjustment module involves readable scales on each cable for tension monitoring.
a complete sophisticated treadmill rehabilitation system
Patients in physical therapy often suffer from restricted mobility. For some patients, even stepping onto the treadmill is difficult. The h/p/cosmos® rehabilitation treadmill system features a treadmill with a low access step height and extra long handrails that extend the full length of the treadmill. This is the safest way a patient with impaired ability to walk can use a treadmill.
