The Quadriciser®: How Does It Work?

The Quadriciser originated with the belief that passive exercise can contribute significant benefits to those who don't have the option of active exercise. Since its introduction many people have made real strides towards an improved quality of life. The Quadriciser is a motorized total body therapy system using motor and cables to to gently move your patients entire body. It is fully adjustable to each patient. Customized for their specific limitations and for their comfort.

The design of the Quadriciser emphasizes comfort and security, the lower limbs are gently supported in comfortable padded foot cradles which are freely suspended from the exercise mechanism.

The Quadriciser's motor and mechanisms passively do all the work or the patient can actively do as much as they are able.  Notice how effectively the Quadriciser provides a range of motion that is highly similar to a natural walking motion. This walking motion is highly beneficial to overall wellbeing.

You want to improve your patients range of motion and strength, that's why the double cord system provides gentle coaxing so you can extend their range and flexibility easily and without pain.

Other features include comfortable padded cradles that support the lower limbs during a cyclical motion, a Pulse Oximeter that provides statistical benchmarks to help you record your patients progress. Quiet operation so they can enjoy normal conversation or listen to the TV or radio while exercising. The Quadriciser is durable with a construction that features high strength to weight ratio requiring minimal maintenance that will provide years of dependable use. Grip Assist Gloves are available to allow your patients to take full advantage of the arm exercise cycles without strenuous effort or discomfort. Each unit features a timer control that allows you to provide therapy for a preset amount of time and the speed controls allow you to set a workout at the speed you deem appropriate for that patient. The skills of the physical therapist are essential to its success. For people who are unable to participate in more active forms of exercise the Quadriciser motorized therapy system is there to take them to new levels and a new quality of life.

It must be emphasized that the Quadriciser ® features a gentle motorized system. The Quadriciser ® moves on its own in a systematic motion. Even that aspect of body movement is fully adjustable and can be completely customized for each individual. The Quadriciser comes with many features and options that are custom picked by your Customer Care Specialist to fit your needs.

Items that may accompany your Quadriciser

Instruction Manual

The Instruction Manual is a 40 page full color manual detailing the use of the Quadriciser as well as 20 exercises for your Quadriciser.

Grip Assist Gloves

The Grip Assist Gloves allow you to take full advantage of your exercise without strenuous effort or discomfort. The Grip Assist Gloves hold your hands on the Trapeze Hand Grip if the user is unable to grip the standard hand grip on their own.

Trapeze Hand Grips

The Trapeze Hand Grips are designed to work with the Grip Assist Gloves and the Tension Cords, to assist those with limited upper body motor control. The eye hooks on the Trapeze Hand Grips are used as anchor points for the Tension Cords to provide proper alignment of the hands, wrist, and arms.

Tension Cords

The Tension Cords are used with the Grip Assist Gloves, Trapeze Hand Grips, and the Lower Extension Bars to create proper alignment and added resistance. The Tension Cords come in 2 sets, Youth and Adult depending on which model you purchase.

Lower Extension Bars

The Lower Extension bars are used as a multi-adjustable anchor point for the Tension Cords and the 3rd rope pulley as a variation on some of the exercises.

Strap Anchor Points

The Strap Anchor Points are used as multi-adjustable anchor points for the Tension Cords that need to clip to the front bar of the machine.

Gait Wedge

The Gait Wedge is designed to help those with limited or no motor control in their lower extremities. The Gait Wedge secures to the legs with buckles on either side and holds the legs in proper alignment to prevent discomfort and improve proper range of motion. Should the user's legs pull to one side or the other you can use the Lower Extension Bars and Tension Cords to correct this.

Pulse Oximeter

The Pulse Oximeter is used to monitor the user's blood oxygen level and pulse rate before and after each session on the Quadriciser. The Pulse Oximeter features a full color LCD screen, alarm high and low options for pulse and oxygen levels, a rechargeable Lithim-Ion battery, USB connectivity, and bluetooth technology. The USB and bluetooth technology is used with the included PC software to monitor the user's pulse and oxygen levels on the computer. These statistics can be saved and then later printed out as charts and graphs to record progress over time.
