NuStep for Knee Rehab

By: Melanie Kapa, Lead Physical Therapist & Tara Gilbert, Director of Wellness and Rehabilitation, Glacier Hills Retirement Community

The NuStep® Recumbent Cross Trainer is an excellent addition to any inpatient subacute or outpatient physical therapy program for the rehabilitation of knee injuries or surgeries. Benefits include:

  • Increasing knee range of motion, strength, and cardiovascular fitness to improve gait pattern, ambulation distance, stair management and functional transfers from bed, toilet, or car.
  • The seat adjusts to patient’s available knee range of motion.
  • The workload/resistance levels 1-10 adjust to all levels of strength.
  • The display panel (avg. steps/minute and total steps) provides the therapist and patient with objective measures of progress.
