Esseda Wheelchair ergometer

Realistic and accurate testing with unique wheelchair propulsion

The Lode Esseda is a wheelchair ergometer developed together with input of rehabilitation centers and universities. The request of the rehab market for wheelchair patients and the sports market was the ability to test and train patients and sporters as realistic and at the same time as accurate as possible. 


The Esseda is a wheelchair ergometer working according to the principles of inertia in order to simulate realistic wheelchair propulsion. The resistance of the ergometer can be adjusted to simulate surfaces with different friction or to create different test and training protocols. The ergometer is developed for easy access for all kind of wheelchairs, allowing athletes to use their own complete wheelchair. There is a very easy and flexible fixation system  and the ergometer also has a tool to outline the wheelchair to ensure that the wheelchair is positioned well regarding to the ergometer. The calibration is done whilst the athlete is in the wheelchair, so the weight of the person is also counted in order to provide the best inertia simulation. Positioning can be done with the saved position data of the previous test.  


The individual propulsion of the left and right wheels makes it possible to measure the force separately on both sides. Together with the high measurement frequency it is possible to detect small differences between left and right or propulsion technique. Small changes in propulsion can be detected and the effect on various outcome measurements will be visible. Furthermore the real time feedback modus creates opportunities for rehabilitation training and optimization of the propulsion in order to prevent injuries. In order to control the ergometer, the Esseda is standard supplied with the Lode Ergometry Manager Software, so multiple testing and training protocols can be created.

Highlights

Left / right independent speed and torque

The ergometer measures is not only the summation of left and right, but real left and right independent speed and torque. Differences between the left and right speed can be shown.

Force Measurement

The ergometer allows for measuring applied force on each hoop, provided that the correct diameter of the hoop is entered in Lode Ergometry Manager

Inertia Simulation

The ergometer can simulate inertia, independend of weight of the subject and the wheelchair. Through individual calibration each subject experiences real life wheeling circumstances. Surface resistance can be set!

Positioning Aid

Through an easy lever operated positioning system the wheels can be set correctly on the drive/brake rolls to ensure reproducible and reliable measurements

Fixation with Bruns Protectors

The subjects own wheelchair needs to be fixated on the ergometer. Therefore easy fixation with 4 Bruns Protectors is available standard with the product. Easy lock and easy release creates a safe test setup

Features

Full dynamic inertia simulation

Full dynamic inertia simulation with parameters for:
- user weight
- wheelchair weight

Science

FAQ

Yes, Due to the fact that the scientific research on the spread of Covid-19 is not yet conclusive Lode recommends to disinfect and clean all Lode products and their accessories (cuffs, heart rate belts, SpO2 sensors, handgrips/rails, touchscreens etc) that are in contact with the patient and or the medical personnel with a standard disinfectant as used in the hospital before and after every patient, with attention and care!

Since these agents are sometimes aggressive it might be advisable to check the effect on sensitive surfaces, like cushioning on non-visible areas. Lode will not take responsibility for discoloration due to these agents.
