T
he RTM 600 is the only treadmill to offer a true zero starting speed, 1/10 mph speed increments
over a range of 0-10 mph, plus powered incline and decline in both forward and reverse direc-
tions. Extremely versatile, it’s perfect for exercise with acute post-operative, neuro, pediatric, car-
diopulmonary, respiratory, seniors and orthopedic/sports medicine patients in need of strength-
ening and aerobic conditioning.
Biodex, the leader in motor control technology for medical applications, uses the same Four
Quadrant Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology for the Biodex RTM 600 as is used in the
world-famous Biodex Dynamometer. With more power and consistent speed control than con-
ventional AC or DC motors, the RTM 600 can operate at the slowest speeds, regardless of weight
strain. This advantage proves especially beneficial when treating larger patients in the earliest
phases.
The spacious 20" x 64" (50.8 x 160 cm) low profile, Teflon-impregnated running deck has a low
step-up and incorporates a shock-absorbing surface to reduce stress and trauma to the lower back
and extremities. Add in our Exact-Track belt, which eliminates tracking problems, and it’s easy to
see why patients who might not be able to tolerate other treadmills can get a head start on the
RTM 600. The RTM 600 is also the only treadmill that allows retro-walking exercise while facing
forward for more effective proprioception training in a safe environment. Retro-walking promotes
extension of the knee and dorsiflexion of the foot, which at the same time uses eccentric control of
the hamstrings to actively decelerate the joint. Ideal for training patients to negotiate handicap
ramps
Unusually quiet and easy to operate, the RTM 600 features an intuitive Touch Screen LCD Graphic
Display that provides both pre-defined and user-defined programmability, quick start and manu-
al modes. Heart rate monitoring is accomplished using contact heart rate handgrips. The system
comes with a sturdy support bar, but optional Extended and Geriatric/Pediatric Handrails are
also available. The treadmill can be configured for either 0 to 15% or -3 to 12% incline.
