NuStep: A Bridge from Rehab to Home

NuStep machines support people through every stage of recovery and wellness. They’re found in hospitals, rehab clinics, and private homes across the country. Whether used in healthcare settings for rehab or at home for independent exercise, the core benefits of NuStep machine workouts remain the same.

For most users, their introduction to NuStep begins in a clinical setting following a health event. And many of those users – encouraged by the success they experienced using the NuStep in rehab – continue their journey at home. Read on to understand how NuStep performs in each environment and can support users in their wellness journey.

NuStep in Clinical Settings

The NuStep is often the first piece of exercise equipment patients use when they start physical therapy or cardiac rehab. Therapists know that NuStep is safe, accessible and easy to use and that it’s ideal for patients whose strength or mobility may be compromised after an illness, surgery or cardiac event.

Other features that support patients in rehab include:

• A low-inertia start up and user-controlled step length promotes independent, self-paced workouts
• Contralateral movement works upper and lower body and accommodates all ability levels.
• Multiple resistance levels allow patients to adjust as they improve and move on to the next phase of their recovery.

NuStep at Home

Many people choose to buy a NuStep machine for their homes after discharge from therapy to continue the progress they made in rehab. Regular NuStep workouts can help people maintain the success they’ve made in therapy and minimize setbacks. Having familiar equipment at home gives users the confidence to keep moving forward.

NuStep supports:

• Independence and routine after therapy
• Ongoing recovery without losing momentum
• Continuity between professional care and at-home wellness
