Functional Diversity

The Biodex Upper Body Cycle incorporates two universally accepted and scientifically proven cycling resistance modes into a versatile ergometer that meet the demands of any orthopedic rehabilitation, cardiac, sports medicine, wellness, or general conditioning program.

Unique Self-Powering System

Use the Upper Body Cycle anywhere. There is no need for AC power at work rates at or above 30 watts and 50 rpms. The battery-supported system maintains all settings and LED displays before and after cycling. The internal battery is automatically recharged when work rates reach or exceed 30 watts and 50 rpms. An AC adapter is provided for extended use at work rates below 30 watts and 50 rpms.

User-Friendly

The "Quick-Start" feature gets your first-time cyclists right into their exercises. Five pre-programmed exercise profiles provide a wide selection of standardized routines that can be modified with the panel controls to suit any individual's need. Profiles include constant speed/effort level, constant speed/effort with warm-up and cool-down, aerobic interval training, anaerobic interval training, and pyramid training.

Choice of Resistance Modes

Constant Power (effort level control) is ideal for cardiovascular and general aerobic exercise. Desired work rates are maintained as the resistance varies in proportion to the cyclist's pedaling speed. A selection of 39 effort levels provides a wide range of work-rate choices. Weak, de-conditioned, or post-operative patients can exercise at work rates as low as 10 watts, while demanding as much as 600 watts from strong, highly conditioned athletes. Isokinetic (speed control) provides accommodating resistance throughout the cyclist's entire range of motion for the duration of the exercise period. Resistance continuously matches effort, accommodating to variations in the patient's force output due to weakness or pain at specific points in the individual's range of motion, and to fatigue over the course of the cycling period. With a selection of twenty speeds (25 to 120 deg/sec), this resistance mode maximizes strength gains while minimizing the potential for injury.

Full-Function Retro-Cycling

Rehabilitation and conditioning capabilities are expanded by providing bi-directional cycling to alternately work reciprocal muscle groups. Resistance and program settings are fully functional in both directions.

Built for High-Use Environments

The welded heavy-gauge steel frame, epoxy powder-coat finish, and moisture-resistant ABS plastic enclosure, round out a rugged and durable design that will withstand extensive use in the busiest settings. Large wheels make transporting and repositioning easy. Heart rate monitoring by Polar® Telemetry (chest strap) offers a convenient tracking of heart rate without interrupting exercise - useful for protocols utilizing target heart rate, and for monitoring high-risk patients.

Clinical Pro

Large rotating seat accommodates wheelchair transfers and patients with ambulatory difficulties. EZ-Grip™ handgrips allow people with hand control limitations to hold onto crank handles.
