Skywalker

Kinetic activities performed on the Skywalker has many benefits for the patient with soft tissue injuries. The performance of kinetic activities on the Skywalker has a marked effect on muscle tone, endurance and aerobic potential. Kinetic activities performed on the Skywalker 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 Skywalker 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 Skywalker.
