Hydraulic Abdominal and Lower Back Machine ZEPU-KS108

Key features

• Trunk flexion and extension. Bending forward works the abdominals, returning to vertical works the lumbar extensors.
• Pelvis fixation. The seat and thigh pad fix the pelvis, so the movement comes from the thoracolumbar spine.
• Bidirectional hydraulic resistance. The hydraulic cylinder brakes the movement in both directions. The patient works actively on the way out and on the way back, with no eccentric phase and no jolts.
• 10 adjustment steps. The resistance level is chosen from a 10-position selector without getting off the machine.
• Maximum load 150 kg. Frame and upholstery rated for patients up to 150 kg.
• No weights. No weight stack or plates. The machine is safe for elderly patients and for post-operative rehabilitation.

Clinical indications

The equipment is indicated for:

• Chronic low back pain, in the strengthening phase
• Rehabilitation after lumbar spine surgery, as prescribed by the physician
• Trunk muscle weakness in the elderly
• Trunk stabilisation in athletes

Frequently asked questions

What does bidirectional hydraulic resistance mean?

Resistance comes from a hydraulic cylinder that brakes the movement in both directions. The patient works concentrically on the way out and on the way back, with no eccentric phase and no free-falling weights.

How does it differ from a weight-stack machine?

There is no weight stack or plates. Resistance increases with the speed of execution, so the patient cannot be overpowered by the load, and the level is changed from a 10-step selector without getting off the machine.

Which patients is it suitable for?

Orthopaedic and post-operative rehabilitation, elderly patients and athletes returning to training, in clinics, rehabilitation centres and physiotherapy gyms.
