APT 5 Active Passive Digital Trainer

A unique auto reverse feature ensures that in the event of a muscle seizure during exercise, APT senses that the pedals have locked and gently reverses direction to release the affected muscles.

ACTIVE MODE – enables a wide range of exercise, either workload dependent, where the resistance level is constant regardless of pedal speed, or isokinetic where resistance increases as speed increases.

The height and the length of the crank arms are easily adjusted to provide a variable range of motion, giving the APT exceptional versatility, with exercise options to meet most requirements.

Specially designed foot rests, leg supports, hand grips, support gloves can be interchanged quickly and easily, clipping firmly into the variable length crank arm with APT’s simple quick release fittings.

Offering a wide range of advanced features for both active and passive users, our fully digital, electric powered trainer APT5 is designed mainly for users with limited or no muscular strength. Whether disabled by injury, suffering from muscle atrophy or confined to a wheelchair, the Active Passive Trainer APT-5 caters to the different degrees of muscle incapability.

Fully digital, the Active Passive Trainer APT-5 enables complete control of speed, resistance, amount of spins and load levels. A remote control facilitates operation for users with limited movement abilities. Available accessories include heart rate monitor, special handle bars, hemi-gloves, footrests, and hand grips.

Can be operated in either ACTIVE mode at varying degrees of resistance or in PASSIVE mode at adjustable speed and torque levels. While the machine is in PASSIVE mode, it is possible to combine both PASSIVE and ACTIVE training by using physical effort in conjunction with the electrical operation of the motor. Serves individuals with limited or no muscular power (i.e. spinal cord injuries, MS, Polio, CP, ALS, Dialysis, etc.).

Highly portable, weighing only 10kg the Active Passive Trainer APT-5 can be placed on the floor, on a table top or, with the Hi-Lo frame for comfortable, complete and total workout.
