EARLY TREATMENT
• Offers early gait training and accelerated walking, running, aerobic conditioning and recovery from injury.
ACCELERATED CONDITIONING
• GlideTrak™ may be used even before an athlete is able to safely or effectively condition on a stationary bicycle or in a pool.
EARLY RESTORATION OF RUNNING AND FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENTS
• Allows early restoration of running form by minimizing impact.
• Provides more functional carryover to actual running and sports activity than bicycling or indoor machines that work muscle groups differently.
BROAD SPORTS APPLICATIONS
• Applications extend to most sports, especially those requiring running.
PROTECTION OF INJURED LIMB
• Allows pain free conditioning or training while protecting injured leg.
• Allows limited weight bearing as needed or single leg training (just ask our “Amputeam” runners).
CROSS TRAINING AND ACTIVE RECOVERY
• Provides optimal cross training and active recovery days.
• Makes it possible for athletes to increase the number of training days and intense or long workouts without excessive joint impact (thus creating a competitive advantage).
EARLIER SPEED AND POWER TRAINING
• Allows earlier return to speed and power training with less soreness and stress to recovering tissues.
NATURAL MOVEMENT
• More natural transition to running motion than from a pool, stationary bicycle or elliptical machine.
• Movements in a pool against water resistance are slower and different than an out of water running environment.
• GlideCycle™ training does not change the external environment or eliminate forces of gravity. It simply reduces the impact to joints and healing tissues.
OUTDOOR CONDITIONING WITH TEAMMATES
• The GlideCycle™ allows injured athletes to condition outdoors with teammates and feel included in practices.
ACCESSIBLE TO MULTIPLE ATHLETES FOR RECOVERY & CONDITIONING
• GlideCycles™ allow multiple athletes to train and condition at one time and are much less expensive than other rehabilitation equipment.
• Post-operative hip, knee, leg or ankle rehabilitation
• Anterior knee pain syndromes (Chondromalacia, extensor mechanism dysfunction, patellar tracking problems, various tendinopathies, bursitis
• Ligament or joint injuries
• Muscle strains and contusions
• Turf toe, heel spurs, metatarsalgia, plantar fasciitis
• Various back or hip conditions
