BIMAL Report
The cam profile of the 605G equates to the stability effect of the spinal muscles during lumbar spine extension which also incorporates hip extension. The position of the pivot prevents compression forces through the lumbar spine intervertebral discs. The exercise can be modified by the user to alter the involvement of the hip extensors and hamstring muscles, which isolates the lumbar spine para-spinal muscles. The range limiter safeguards the users who are suffering from existing conditions and allows a more progressive rehabilitation regime to be prescribed without compromising the spinal structures. The adjustable footplates prevent adverse tension through the lumbar-sacral plexus during forward flexion and if inflexibility exists in the hamstrings, the adjustment of the footplates can reduce the impact that this will have upon the bio-mechanics of the hip, knee and pelvis.
Rehabilitative conditions:
• Lumbar-sacral disc lesions
• Facet joint lesions
• Ligamentous strains of the lumbar spine and pelvis
• Sacroiliac joint strains
• Pelvic instability conditions
• Post spinal surgery rehabilitation
• Neurological conditions
• Early stage hamstrings lesions
• Osteoarthritic hips
• Ankylosing spondylitis
