1. Introduction
Dear Physiotherapist,
Stair climbing is a basic everyday skill. The sooner patients
can achieve independence on stairs, the sooner they can
return to normal life.
The revolutionary Dynamic Stair Trainer was developed in
close cooperation with leading physiotherapists. It combines
parallel bars and the unique feature of height adjustable
stairs. This unique function helps you adapt to the needs
and abilities of your patient, while reducing anxiety and pain.
The DST features four steps whose height can be adjusted
from 0 to 16.5 centimeters (0 to 6.5 inches). The device is
equipped with adjustable handrails. In the flat position the DST
also serves as traditional parallel bars.
Thank you for choosing to incorporate the DST in your clinic
and rehabilitation program. We trust that it will help you
provide high quality, successful patient care.
Please read the instructions in this User's Guide before
operating the DST.
