Case Studies

(2010) Energy expenditure is greater on the non-motorized treadmill, which may provide an additional training overload if the treadmill is consistently used as a training technique.

(2010) Increased energy expenditure at walking speeds on the Curve could have dramatic implications for general health and fitness. Walking on the Curve Treadmill allows heart rate levels previously only attainable by running.

(2011) As little as 15 minute of Sprint Interval Training (SIT) per week can produce aerobic effects similar to those achieved by 1.5-3 hours of endurance training per week.

In comparison to the two motorized treadmills, rear-foot pressure was shown to be significantly less intense on the Curve Treadmill at all speeds.

(2011) Changes in the conventional ratio occurred in two to four weeks faster with the Curve than with a motorized treadmill.

(2011) Step length is comparable between the Curve and a motorized treadmill, and increases as speed increases.

(2013) The Curve Treadmill is a reliable assessment of anaerobic performance in sports that require high velocity running.

(2014) A single 30-second max speed sprint on the Curve Treadmill may be an alternative to several time-consuming field tests once athletes are familiarized with the device.

(2014) The Curve Treadmill elicits greater physiological stimulus than a standard motorized treadmill, proven by small, statistically significant changes in RPE at matched speed.

(2015) With as little as one familiarization session on the Woodway Curve Treadmill, team-sport athletes can reliably reproduce self-selected distances/speeds across a range of loco-motor commands.

(2006) After 8 weeks of training with the ELG, 40 yard dash times went from 6.37 seconds to 5.90 seconds.

(2006) With just 7 ELG workouts, athletes showed improvements in conditioning, speed, and flexibility after injury.

(2005) After just 12 training sessions on the Force, acceleration significantly improved for both 10 and 20 yard distances.

(2005) After 8 weeks of training on the Force, a professional fighter was in the best shape of his life, and won in the second round.

(2005) After 4 weeks, the deficit between the right and left extremities of an injured player had been reduced significantly. After 9 months, the player returned to full play, and ran a 40 yard dash .4 seconds faster than before the incident.

(2005) Training on the Force Treadmill produced significant improvements over all distances.

(2006) By introducing the Woodway Force Treadmill, trained athletes will significantly improve their acceleration, power, and top end speed performance, even when no other sprint-type movement is being trained.

(2006) Even with a relatively low load, a resisted sprint ergometer still produced significant improvements over all distances.

(2005) The non-motorized treadmill allowed for a highly reproducible running protocol, which can be considered more reliable than common field tests.

(2007) The NMT system and team-sport simulation provide a reliable tool for measuring performance demands and most physiological responses of various team sports in moderately trained athletes.

(2009) After 7 weeks of resisted and non-resisted sprint training on the Force, land-based max speed, velocity, and power improved during sprinting on the treadmill.

(2011) Producing horizontal force (like one does on this treadmill) leads to greater speed development.

(2005) Adaptive changes in interlimb coordination occur after short bouts of training on the Split-Belt treadmill.

(2006) Cerebellar damage significantly disrupts predictive feedforward motor adaptations during Split-Belt treadmill locomotion.

(2007) Training on the Split-Belt allows both the right and the left legs to adapt while moving in opposite directions.

(2007) Cerebral and subcortical strokes causing a range of sensory and motor deficits did not impair a person’s ability to make immediate reactions or slower adaptations during Split-Belt treadmill locomotion.

(2009) Locomotor adaptation following split-belt treadmill walking partially transfers to over ground walking in both healthy control subjects and persons post-stroke.

(2010) Short-term adaptation can be capitalized on through repetitive practice on the Split-Belt, which can lead to longer-term improvements after stroke.

(2011) Within-subject variability, intra-day (within the same test day) variability, and inter-day (between test days) variability all decreased over time.

(2014) Strabismic patients show a significantly lower balance control than healthy subjects, so this rehab treatment focuses on balance.

(2012) An all-out sprint performed on the Wattbike is reliable and reproducible for peak speed, average cadence, max heart rate, and post-exercise blood lactate concentration.

(2013) Compression and humidification therapy are effective strategies for enhancing recovery.

(2014) Wattbike is highly reliable when it comes to stand-alone cycle ergometers, and may provide an appropriate and more readily available alternative.

(2014) Cycle ergometer peak power can be used to assess match-related Neuromuscular Fatigue induced by running-based team sport activity.

(2009) The LokoHelp, an electromechanical gait device, allows for improved walking ability and reduced therapeutic stress.

(2008) Gait training with the newly developed LokoHelp system is feasible for non-ambulatory patients after stroke, spinal cord injury, or brain injury.

(2012) Using the LokoHelp elicits kinematic, muscular, and metabolic responses in people with incomplete spinal cord injury.
