Correctly aligned orthopedic foot pads

Through research performed with a leading sports scientist and physical rehabilitation expert, SPIRIT engineering has developed a breakthrough in pedal design. No other elliptical, at any price, offers these unique features. The history of elliptical use over the past few years tells us that many users suffer from numb toes while working out on elliptical trainers. Many other users complain of ankle, Achilles tendon, knee and/or hip pain. While researching a solution to these common problems SPIRIT engineers consulted Richard DeKok, P.T., M.T.C., of St. Bernard￿s Industrial Rehabilitation Center in Jonesboro Arkansas.

Together we identified the inherent problem in elliptical designs and developed solutions to solve the problems. What we found is that when you use an elliptical you tend to push outward during the power stroke and not just straight back. This causes stress on the outer part of the foot and throws off the natural alignment of the joints. The solution was to add a 2-degree inward angle to the footpads. This might sound simple but what it does is straighten the user￿s joints back into a neutral alignment. This eases the over stressing of the ankles, knees and hips.

Transportation

The elliptical is equipped with two transport wheels, which are engaged when the rear of the Elliptical is lifted.
