180 degree pan of the ergometer, showing the side view of the ergometer to the front of the ergometer.
The movie begins with a side view shot of the ergometer as Amit walks up to the ergometer with his cane, places the cane in the cane holder. Then sits down on the seat and adjusts the power seat to a comfortable location. Adjusts the time on the user interface and sets the resistance. Amit then places his feet on the pedals and begins to pedal. As he pedals he adjusts the resistance of the pistons used to control the resistance of the arm exercise. Amit then uses the arm exercise for some time. Amit decides to stop exercising and removes his feet from the pedals. Using the heart rate pulse handles he stabilizes himself as he pushes off, the seat assist helps him to overcome the 90 degree angle in his legs. He grabs his cane and walks away.
Movie starts out with an up close look of the push button transmitter under the seat assist as the user sits down. When the user is completely seated the transmitter is triggered, which wireless triggers the two LED pedals. The movie cuts to an image of the left pedal as the red LED turns on.
Seat Assist Demo #1 – 9 seconds
Amit sitting on the seat assist, with the handles rotated back. Amit rotates the handles forward and then pushes off the handles to get out of the seat. The seat assist helps him to get out of the seat. After getting to his feet, he grabs his cane and walks away.
Seat Assist Demo #2 – 4 seconds
The movie begins with a close up the seat assist. The user begins to sit down and the piston compresses. Thus, loading the air piston with the forced needed to assist the user when sitting up.
Adjust resistance pistons – 6 seconds
The movie begins with the user sitting holding onto the cardio grips. The user then reaches down and adjusts the resistance pistons. This is done by rotating a collar on the end closes to the user interface; there are numbers that correlate to different levels of resistance. The user is able to control the resistance level in both directions (pushing and pulling), from 5 pounds to 93 pounds per arm.
The movie clip begins by viewing the seat movement frame from approximately a 60 angle in back in relation to the perpendicular. The use is seated on the seat of the ergometer. The user by using the two way momentary switch adjusts the linear actuator to position the seat in the correct placement. The movie then fades to the momentary switch as it is being pushed.
