1) Provides gentle to aggressive cardio-vascular challenge with little impact.
2) Patented Treadles allow plantar and dorsa-flexion of the ankles with each step, vs. incline treadmill exercise, which requires constant dorsa-flexion and lengthening of the Achilles tendon, a forward bending posture, and fatigue of the frontal calf musculature.
3) Independent Treadles facilitate symmetrical gait pattern, and can be used to identify deficits between involved and uninvolved limbs.
4) Versatile Treadclimber costs less than light institutional treadmills or elliptical trainers, yet offers much more clinical utility.
