Eccentric ergometry or “negative ergometry” is used to train severe pulmonary and cardiac patients.
The motor is pushing the crank axle of the ergometer in the opposite direction.
The test subject has to resist this workload and keep the pedal frequency at a selected number to get the desired training effect.
The Eccentric Corival is an ergometer with a design like the Corival with a motor next to the usual electromagnetical braking principle.
The maximal eccentric workload is 250 watts.
The range of target RPM (30-100 RPM) can be customized and adjusted during the training.
The eccentric ergometer has safety protections but may not be used without supervision.
Besides this eccentric ergometry, this ergometer can be used for normal ergometry as well.
The ergometer is standard equipped with both a 7" programmable control unit and a 3.5" display.
Reliable and reproducible stress tests
The experience of professionals who calibrate many ergometers showed that the Lode ergometers are the most reliable across the complete workload and rpm range and still within specifications even after many years of intensive use.
High standards
Lode is a socially and environmentally responsible company. All Lode products are RoHS/WEE compliant and Lode is ISO 9001:2015, and ISO 13485:2016 certified. All medical products comply to MDD 93/42/EEC, incl. IEC 60601-1.
Various test modes
Besides the hyperbolic (rpm-independent) mode that is used most of the time, the standard control unit offers several other test modes, like the fixed torque mode and the linear mode.These modes can be used in both manual and terminal mode.
Q-factor equal to road-bike
The Q-factor of the ergometer is equal to the Q-factor of road bikes, creating perfect training circumstances.
Training severe cardiac and pulmonary patients
Possibility to train severe cardiac and pulmonary patients with eccentric exercise
