Application of the Biodex Unweighing Harness in the Standing Position The Unweighing Harness is used to improve mobility for patients that require body-weight supported ambulation as well as increased trunk stability. The two-panel design and detachable pelvic support allows for a wide range of adjustability and easy application. One size fits most: waist size 24”-54”; weight capacity to 300 lb.
Unweighing Harness – Add Pelvic Support Alternate application of the Unweighing Harness. If the patient requires more stabilization, then criss-crossing the gluteal fold straps across the front provides an effective tightening of the harness around the pelvic region.
Application of the Biodex Unweighing Harness in the Seated Position For the seated patient, first approximate the size of patient; better to err on too large. Adjust the back panels to get the upper harness through the patients arms and behind the patient as far as possible. Apply the lower portion of the harness by buckling in the thigh cuffs. Once patient is clipped in, cinch all adjustments as tight as patient can tolerate; it will loosen upon standing. When patient begins to stand, clip the thigh cuffs to the upper portion of the harness.
Emory Brain Health Center Embraces Biodex Technology for Patients with Neurological Involvement The Emory Brain Health Center in Atlanta is building what it believes will be one of the nation’s leading outpatient rehabilitation centers for patients with neurological diseases and conditions. The heart of this modern center on Atlanta, GA’s Emory University campus is a team of highly experienced therapists equipped with one of the field’s most advanced range-of-technology systems, including the first rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) gait systems for clinical use, and the nation’s most extensive FreeStep SAS track systems.
