EL255 Elliptical

Correctly aligned orthopedic foot pads
Through research performed with a leading sports scientist and physical rehabilitation expert,
SPIRIT engineering has developed a breakthrough in pedal design. No other elliptical, at any price,
offers these unique features. The history of elliptical use over the past few years tells us that many
users suffer from numb toes while working out on elliptical trainers. Many other users complain of
ankle, Achilles tendon, knee and/or hip pain. While researching a solution to these common
problems SPIRIT engineers consulted Richard DeKok, P.T., M.T.C., of St. Bernards Industrial
Rehabilitation Center in Jonesboro Arkansas.
Together we identified the inherent problem in elliptical designs and developed solutions to solve
the problems. What we found is that when you use an elliptical you tend to push outward during the
power stroke and not just straight back. This causes stress on the outer part of the foot and throws
off the natural alignment of the joints. The solution was to add a 2-degree inward angle to the
footpads. This might sound simple but what it does is straighten the users joints back into a neutral
alignment. This eases the over stressing of the ankles, knees and hips.
Transportation
The elliptical is equipped with two transport wheels, which are engaged when the rear of the
Elliptical is lifted.
