Help older adults regain functional gait and improve balance
The dynamic, single-point suspension of NxStep accommodates pelvic rotation and vertical displacement. This encouragement of proper mechanics allows functional gait patterns to be practiced. When used in combination with the Biodex Gait Trainer, a comprehensive gait training environment, complete with audio and visual biofeedback is possible.
Gait Kinematics
NxStep Unweighing System allows full and partial weight bearing without compromising proper gait kinematics. Depending on walking speed, up to four inches of vertical displacement is permitted while the system maintains a consistent level of unweighing. When pelvic stabilization is necessary, retention cords are provided that can be adjusted for degree.
The ability to allow pelvic rotation has its own advantages. Unlike two-point suspension systems that have a tendency to restrict rotation on a horizontal plane, the single-point method of NxStep permits functional pelvic rotation and versatility when walking, side-stepping, retro-walking and turning. Patients can engage in reactive postural control exercises or change direction without repositioning the entire support system.
The unique, forward corner-mounted design of NxStep enables many advantages. Therapists can view patients from all angles; patients have full visibility of treadmill display and, the open design allows natural arm swing, an essential component to encourage neuroplasticity.

GAIT TRAINER 3 + UNWEIGHING
The Biodex Gait Training System
The Gait Trainer provides audio and visual biofeedback of step length and step speed.
The unweighing support system provides assistance, helping patients regain their confidence, their strength and their stride. The NxStep Unweighing System, combined with the Gait Trainer 3, allows every patient the opportunity to get an early start on rehabilitation.

Allows for functional vertical displacement and functional pelvic rotation or stabilization during partial weight-bearing therapy
- Full Patient Access – open frame design encourages therapist facilitation and clears an unobstructed forward view for patients.
- One-Handed Control – press a button to raise or lower patient; another to set unweighing load.
- Counters Harness Slippage – Auto Unload feature compensates for potential harness movement due to slippage or posture changes.
- Convenient Control – newly designed hand-held remote can be magnetically attached anywhere on the frame.
- Safe Environment – dynamic, single-point suspension is safer for patients and negates the need for therapist support and risk of personal injury.
- Pelvic Stabilization – possible as single- or two-point stabilization with retention cords.
- Tall and Small – from pediatric up to 6' 7" on a standard treadmill in an area with 8' ceilings or up to 7' 2" over ground.
- Get Comfortable – therapist seat can easily be moved along the base of the frame or from side-to-side. A second seat is available separately.
- Handrails As Needed – easily removable for specific balance training exercise.
- Room-to-Room – collapses to 32" (81 cm) wide to fit through standard door frames.
