AquaCiser Underwater Treadmill System

• The AquaCiser I I Underwater Treadmill System is comprised of an exercise chamber, a water reservoir, and control console. Temperature, depth, belt direction and a speed can all be manipulated from the consoles control panel so treatment protocols can be clearly documented.

• The water remains in a reservoir until the patient is comfortably situated in the exercise chamber, making patient access exceptionally easy.

• Water depth can be adjusted to a maximum of 48 inches, allowing the patient to safely comply with weight bearing restrictions - a smooth transition to land-based exercise.

• The patient remains "stationary" while the belt moves below so frontal resistance is virtually eliminated and normal ambulatory posture is maintained. This produces a more functional movement pattern than the head-forward gait distortion characteristic of pool walking.

• Dual-function hydrotherapy jets enhance the therapeutic effects of warm water.

• The clear door and side windows allow the therapist to monitor the patient's gait.

• A patient seat allows for use while standing or sitting.

• An automatic chlorine system ensures a sanitized water supply.

• A video is available in both VHS and PAL formats

This variable-speed underwater treadmill represents a revolution in aquatic therapy. Patients otherwise limited by pain, weakness, or weight-bearing restrictions can begin to develop strength much earlier in the rehabilitative process. Early intervention means less post-traumatic reconditioning; and subsequent gains in strength, endurance, and range of motion.
