The
NeuroGym® Pendulum Stepper is a self-assisted trainer of reciprocal stepping
designed to specifically target the antigravity muscles that are so
important for maintaining balance and gait. Even in individuals with
significant muscle weakness, it is designed to make improving the strength
and endurance of the stepping motion simple, effective and convenient.
In the case of very weak lower extremities, flexion and/or extension
movements of the stepping action can be difficult to produce in
isolation. The Pendulum Stepper allows for active assist from
the user’s arms or with the help of a support person by using the
arm extensions. Elastic resistance may be gradually added to
increase the level of difficulty and, at the same time, ease the
return motion.
The
Pendulum Stepper is light, mobile and compact. Unlike larger lower
extremity exercise equipment, this compact Stepper does not need to be
located in a gym and it does not require transferring the user. This makes
the Pendulum Stepper an ideal choice for individuals with limited mobility
and for facilities with little or no dedicated exercise space.
