| | Elliptical Walker
Kinetic activities performed on the Elliptical Walker has many benefits for the patient
with soft tissue injuries. The performance of kinetic activities on the Elliptical Walker
has a marked effect on muscle tone, endurance and aerobic potential. Kinetic activities
performed on the Elliptical Walker decreases the pounding of the spine and lower extremity
joints resulting from heel strike shock removing many of the compressive loads. This
results in good physical activity. The Elliptical Walker builds tremendous conditioning
with strong use of the arms and legs increasing cardiac output without the pounding of
running. The patient's proprioception and neuromuscular coordination is also increased as
a result on the relationship of the upper and lower extremities in the performance of the
exercise motion on the Elliptical Walker. |
