Realistic exercises with fall prevention; safe access onto the treamill from wheelchair
early start of walking exercises; physiological gait training - even with obese patients
Secure access even with crutches and out of a wheelchair
You know the situation: Some of your patients come on crutches or in wheelchairs to their therapy. The fi rst diffi culty will follow immediately when your patients access the treadmill their grip is transferred from the walking aids to the handrail. Wheelchair users need a way to support themselves on the handrail when getting up from the wheelchair. The h/p/cosmos system for rehabilitation has a low entry height and long handrails that extend to the end of the walking surface. Patients with an impaired ability to walk can mount the treadmill more safely. A professional wheelchair ramp is optionally available as an accessory which allows comfortable access onto the running surface for most types of wheelchairs.
The h/p/cosmos mercury® med treadmill system comes with a running surface of L: 150cm (59.05“) x W: 50cm (19.68“) which meets the standards for many applications. For special demands larger deck size models like the h/p/cosmos quasar® med, the high performance h/p/cosmos pulsar® 3p or the oversize range h/p/cosmos venus® and h/p/cosmos saturn® with a deck size of up to L: 450cm x W: 300cm are available. Custom-made models designed for higher body weights and for special applications are manufactured by h/p/cosmos.
Early start of therapy with body weight support
The course of therapy should start as early as possible and should be enjoyable for both the patient and the therapist.
