Spirit MT200 Gait Trainer Treadmill

Typical applications of the MT200

• Simulate uphill and downhill walking to emphasize specific muscle groups or motions.
• Promoting dorsiflexion and reducing flexion contractors with total knee and total hip replacements.
• Use retro-walking to promote the use of reciprocal muscle groups not normally exercised during forward walking alone.

Unique uses for the Spirit MT200 Gait Trainer Treadmill

• Small and precise speed increments and adjustable handrails make this treadmill ideal for use with children too.
• Small speed increments, specially configured handrails, and gait monitoring permit the neurologically impaired patient population to safely benefit.
• Removable step-up for assistance.
• Belt speeds as low as 0.1 mph to accommodate even the most deconditioned patient.

Other features of the MT200

• When the belt is not moving the motor is locked for patient safety.
• Adjustable full length handrails for safety from heights of 24.5 – to 34.5 inches and width of 19.5 to 31 inches.
• Bi-Directional Belt Speed.

Advantages and Clinical Applications

Orthopedic, Sports Medicine, and Athletic Training Exercise

Use uphill or downhill walking and jogging to emphasize specific muscle groups or motions. Use retro-walking to promote the use of reciprocal muscle groups not normally exercised during forward walking alone

Cardiopulmonary Exercise

Monitor heart rate by Telemetry or contact heart rate in handgrips. MET level displayed for easy compliance to patient exercise prescriptions. Belt speeds as low as 0.1 mph to accommodate even the most deconditioned patient.

Older Adult Exercise

Simulate uphill and downhill walking. Retro-walk to reduce flexion contractures with total knee and total hip replacements. Retro-walk is also great for promoting dorsiflexion. (Using the dual height Geriatric/Pediatric Handrails)

Pediatric Exercise

Small and precise speed increments and adjustable handrails make this treadmill ideal for use with children too.

Neurological Rehabilitation Exercise

Treadmills have long been used in therapy and conditioning to encourage patient compliance. Now, the small speed increments, specially configured handrails, and gait monitoring permit the neurologically impaired patient population to safely benefit as well.
