1. Introduction
Designed for versatility and durability, the Biodex Upper Body Cycle (UBC) and Upper Body
Cycle Clinical Pro meet the demands of orthopedic, cardiopulmonary, sports medicine,
wellness and general conditioning programs. Featuring a work range of up to 600 watts,
plus self-powered, self-charging capability, these cycles accommodate a wide variety of
patient profiles and can be used virtually anywhere.
Use the UBC to exercise individuals with limited lower body function, help rehabilitate a
wide variety of shoulder, back, neck, wrist and elbow patients, and provide healthy
athletes with a grueling workout. Retro-cycling capability provides smooth and
instantaneous bi-directional resistance in both exercise modes to help promote the use
of reciprocal muscle groups not normally exercised during forward cycling alone.
The Biodex Upper Body Cycle features Isokinetic Speed Control. Because the internal
battery is automatically recharged when work rates reach or exceed 30 watts and speed
exceeds 50 rpms, the cycle can be used in the gym, at the clinic or on the sidelines -
without cumbersome power cords. An AC adapter is provided for use at work rates
below 30 watts and 50 rpms. Large wheels make the cycle easy to move.
Ergonomically designed and simple to operate, the Upper Body Cycle features a step-
through design that makes it easy for patients - including those with limited mobility - to
get into and out of the exercise position. The contoured seat with lumbar support and an
indexed track allows extensive front-to-back adjustment to ensure comfort, safety and
biomechanically correct positioning. The seat can also be removed quickly for easy
standing or wheelchair access. The UBC accommodates users from 4'6" to 6'10" and
weighing up to 500 pounds.
The easy-to-read, LED display turns on as soon as exercise begins. The display provides
immediate user biofeedback for increased motivation and compliance, maintaining all
settings and LED displays for 60 seconds after the workout is finished.
The UBC Clinical Pro incorporates all of the above, plus a wider rotating seat that makes
wheelchair transfers a snap, EZ-Grip Handgrips to allow patients with hand control
limitations to better hold onto the crank handles, fixed support handles alongside the
seat, and a seat belt that provides added security for patients with palsy or balance
difficulties.
NOTE: The UBC battery is shipped without the battery charged. Please plug in the AC
Adapter and use the UBC with the battery charger connected during the first 24 hours of
use. It is not required to keep the charger connected if work rates will exceed 30 watts on
a regular basis, which is sufficient to charge the battery. To use the UBC at work rates
below 30 watts the AC adapter is required.
