A large adjustment range for the seat, an especially low step-through frame, and a wide seating area are important prerequisites for using the ergometer with obese patients.

The high backrest is ideally suited to relieve the lumbar and pelvic area during training. This enables patients who have health problems in the lumbar spine area to train without pain.

The use of special, laterally movable pedal shoes or length-adjustable cranks allows for the optimal setting of the pedal spacing and knee flexion angle.

The user-friendly ergometer operation makes it easy to perform training sessions. Just push a few buttons to track heart rate and load during a training session on the large display. The feature enables the precise performance of heart rate-controlled training. The chest strap records the ECG signals and automatically regulates the ergometer output to ensure a constant heart rate.

Uninterrupted, reliable acquisition of the heart rate is indispensable for conducting heart rate-controlled training. The digital ergoline chest strap allows for the unique allocation of the strap to a patient—the “inadvertent” transmission of another person's strap signals is completely ruled out.

Up to 10 different training profiles (all forms of training) can be specified with the ergoline training chip card. The opticare basic PC software writes all training parameters, including warm-up and recovery phase, to the chip card to be read by the ergometer. At the end of a training session, the ergometer writes the entire course of the training to the chip card, which allows for saving the data of up to 60 training sessions. Once the data on chip card is downloaded to the database of the opticare basic software, all training sessions are available for documentation and analysis.
