The miniTREAD® equipment provides safe, effective cardio and lower body workout while integrating two of the most natural human behaviors: Sitting and Walking. The goal of the miniTREAD is to help you strengthen your lower body muscles and help you prepare for your surgery. During recovery, the miniTREAD can be used to help rebuild your strength and range of motion.
The low to no joint stress equipment can be used to build strength in your quadriceps (thighs), hamstrings, core, calves, and glutes before and after surgical procedures. The miniTREAD is small enough to be placed under a desk while working, in between the legs of a wheelchair, or in front of a chair while watching TV. The wired hand-held remote console makes it easy to control and monitor steps, speed, distance, time, and calories. At 24 lbs., it’s compact and portable enough to move when not in use.
As a society today, the level of obesity is off the charts and prolonged sitting can have powerful metabolic consequences. Research indicates daily exercise is not enough protection from the harmful effects of a sedentary lifestyle. The fitness industry, to date, has few products that integrate seamlessly into our daily lives. The miniTREAD can be used while on a Zoom® or sitting and reading the newspaper. Please discuss the miniTREAD with Dr. Sah to see if this is a viable and preferred form of exercise for you. It is available for purchase at the link below, and if you qualify for an ongoing research study, you may be able to keep the device at no charge! Inquire for details.
