Zionsville: Walk Again Without Pain

ZIONSVILLE PHYSICAL THERAPY PRESENTS: NUSTEP

NuStep

Introducing our newest piece of equipment, a favorite among the “users” here at ZPT: the NuStep, total body recumbent stepper. It is a comfortable cross between recumbent bike and upright stair stepper, which offers a great work out or warm up in addition to being comfortable and adjustable. According to Katie Poisel, DPT, the NuStep is a “great tool for getting patients moving again.” She further explains that “especially after surgery or if range of motion, or ROM (flexibility) is limited, patients can still work through a partial ROM with resistance to begin building aerobic capacity. With upper and lower extremity components, it can be easily tailored to almost any diagnosis.” Research shows that the NuStep training offers significant increases in aerobic capacity and endurance, as well as muscle strength and endurance. Furthermore, NuStep use resulted in significant increase in lean body mass and significant reduction in fat mass and percent body fat. See what our patients have to say: Helped me gain flexibility! “TheNuStephashelpedmegainflexibilityandstrengthafterhaving totalknee replacement surgery. It is a great warm-up exercise prior to all other physical therapy tasks.” - Sherry H.
