VersaClimber Sport Rehab

The SRM Rehab Model Versaclimber is a total-body, closed-chain, rehabilitation exercise machine. It utilises one of the most natural and intensity-selective muscular activities to which the body can be subjected. The SRM is fully adjustable to fit the height, weight and length of all types of athletes and patients. Total body vertical climbing exercise and rehabilitation routines have been developed to provide continuous arm and leg action in a seated or standing position, using a wide selection of stroke lengths, stroke rates, and resistance levels.

Seated Leg/Arm Exercise

Seat provides a sit-down exercise routine–push and pull with the arms, legs, or arms and legs combined.

Non to Partial to Full Weight Bearing

The user’s partial or full weight can be supported by the seat while pedalling. Seated Leg Isolator Pegs and straps safely and comfortably isolate one or both legs.

Limit Range of Motion

The Versaclimber has 50.5cm range of motion, allowing for the full extension of the limbs. For those who cannot extend their limbs through the full motion due to injury, orthopaedic travel stops are used to limit the range of motion of the injured limb. Isolate One or Both Arms.

Contra-lateral Movement Pattern

Cross-crawl movement stimulates the Corpus Callosum, which in turn strengthens the connection between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. This improves coordination and is linked to improved cognitive function, decreased anxiety.

Running Hand Grips

Two different sets of handles (running and straight) are included with the Sports Rehab Model Versaclimber. They are used primarily for upper extremity work. A push-pull motion promotes the efficient use of flexors and extensors of the arms. Running Hand Grips allow movement In Radial and Ulnar deviation. Patients who have difficulty with pronation and supination can grasp the neutral hand grips with less discomfort. Hand movement is limited to radial and ulnar deviation.

Straight Hand Grips

The standard straight hand grips provide a variety of hand positions which accommodate exercises for the arms, shoulders, chest and back. The patient can actively push or pull with one or both arms as well as move one or both arms passively in a controlled range of motion. One or both arms can be totally immobilized when required. Both styles of handgrips, standard and running, are vertically adjustable and can be used in seated or standing positions.

Heart Rate Monitoring Mode

Heart rate can be easily monitored by using two methods. Patients can use their personal Polar (or other compatible) watch or chest strap to transmit their heart rate signal to the monitor. The target heart rate is then programmed into the computer and the work intensity is determined based on the user’s heart rate. Work intensity, adjusted at 30-second intervals, provides for a prudent warm-up and a controlled workout, in the proper heart rate training zone for Phase II and Phase III cardiac rehabilitation therapy. Patients capable of generating two or more METS can start in the seated position, and then progress through the higher energy requirements of stepping and total body climbing.
