Just what is “totally accommodating, variable resistance?” Simply put, this means that at any
point in the range of motion (in this case, the stepping revolution) the resistance encountered by
the user will exactly match the force exerted. In other words, the harder one pushes on the
pedal, the greater the resistance. Maximum speed never changes and there is little or no resis-
tance provided until the preset speed is achieved.
Because the BioStep Clinical Pro provides totally accommodating Isokinetic resistance for each
and every stepping revolution, fluctuations in force output are instantaneously accommodated.
Since the amount of resistance the musculoskeletal system must overcome can never exceed that
which it can produce at any point in the range of motion, the Isokinetic mode ensures extremely
safe and comfortable exercise for rehabilitation users.
