SPIRIT Fitness 8.0U Neurological Rehabilitation & Cardiac Stress Test Upright Bike

The SPIRIT Fitness 8.0U Rehabilitation Upright Bike is an advanced neurological rehabilitation and cardiac stress testing system engineered for physical therapy, rehabilitation, hospital, and professional healthcare environments.

Designed to provide clinicians with exceptional control and versatility, the SPIRIT 8.0U combines an accessible step-through design, 100 levels of forward and reverse pedaling resistance, and three distinct workload modes: Constant Power, Isokinetic, and Constant Resistance. An integrated 10.1" tablet console provides access to exercise programs, clinical testing protocols, data transfer, and advanced performance analysis.

With a workload range of 5 to 1200 watts, fully adjustable high-density foam seat, ergonomic multi-position handlebars, and 440 lb. maximum user weight, the SPIRIT 8.0U provides a versatile platform for neurological rehabilitation, cardiac stress testing, therapeutic exercise, and progressive cardiovascular conditioning.

Advanced Rehabilitation & Cardiac Stress Testing

The SPIRIT Fitness 8.0U goes beyond the capabilities of a conventional upright exercise bike by combining advanced rehabilitation features with integrated clinical exercise testing.

The bike provides bidirectional resistance with forward and reverse pedaling, allowing clinicians to incorporate different movement patterns into individualized rehabilitation programs.

Three workload options—Constant Power, Isokinetic, and Constant Resistance—provide additional control over exercise intensity and resistance characteristics based on the user's abilities and therapeutic or testing objectives.

Step-Through Design for Improved Accessibility

The SPIRIT 8.0U incorporates an innovative step-through frame design that provides easier access to the exercise position.

By reducing the need to step over a traditional high center frame, the design can make mounting and dismounting easier for users with mobility, balance, strength, or lower-extremity limitations.

Combined with the adjustable seat and ergonomic handlebars, the step-through configuration helps make the SPIRIT 8.0U adaptable to a broad range of users within professional rehabilitation environments.

100 Levels of Forward & Reverse Resistance

The SPIRIT 8.0U provides 100 levels of bidirectional electromagnetic resistance, allowing users to pedal both forward and reverse against controlled resistance.

This extensive resistance range provides clinicians with precise control over exercise intensity while bidirectional pedaling expands the movement options available for therapeutic exercise and progressive conditioning.

The combination makes the 8.0U particularly versatile for neurological rehabilitation, lower-extremity rehabilitation, and individualized therapeutic exercise programs.

Three Advanced Workload Modes

The SPIRIT 8.0U provides three distinct workload options designed to accommodate different rehabilitation, conditioning, and clinical testing requirements.

Constant Power allows exercise to be performed at a controlled workload.

Isokinetic provides another option for controlled therapeutic and performance exercise.

Constant Resistance provides traditional resistance-based cycling.

Together, these modes give clinicians greater flexibility when selecting an exercise approach appropriate for the user's abilities, rehabilitation goals, or clinical testing requirements.

Wide 5–1200 Watt Workload Range

With a workload range from 5 to 1200 watts, the SPIRIT 8.0U accommodates an extensive spectrum of exercise intensities.

The low starting workload supports controlled therapeutic exercise, while the substantial upper workload range provides room for progressive strengthening, cardiovascular conditioning, performance testing, and advanced exercise protocols.

Wingate Test & Power Distribution

The SPIRIT 8.0U incorporates advanced testing functionality including a Wingate Test and Power Distribution program.

These capabilities expand the bike beyond conventional rehabilitation cycling by providing clinicians with additional options for evaluating exercise performance and power.

Combined with the integrated tablet console and broad workload range, these testing capabilities make the 8.0U suitable for rehabilitation as well as clinical exercise and performance assessment applications.

Integrated Cardiac & Exercise Testing Programs

The SPIRIT 8.0U provides a comprehensive selection of rehabilitation, cardiovascular, and exercise testing programs.

Available programs include:

• Manual

• Timer

• Hill

• Plateau

• HIIT

• Facility

• Heart Rate Target

• Calories Target

• METs Target

• Wingate Test

• YMCA

• Astrand Rhyming

• Steep Ramp Test

• Conconi Test

• Power Distribution

This extensive program selection provides clinicians with flexibility when developing individualized rehabilitation, conditioning, and clinical exercise testing protocols.

10.1" Tablet Console & Connectivity

The SPIRIT 8.0U features an integrated 10.1" tablet console that provides intuitive access to exercise functions, clinical testing programs, and performance data.

The console provides 360-degree horizontal adjustment, allowing its position to be modified for improved viewing and clinician access.

USB connectivity supports data transfer software and cardiac stress testing applications, while Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity provide additional options for compatible heart rate monitoring.

Adjustable Seating & Ergonomic Positioning

A fully adjustable high-density foam seat provides both fore/aft and vertical positioning to accommodate users of different heights and body proportions.

The SPIRIT 8.0U is recommended for users ranging from approximately 4'10" to 6'6" and supports users weighing up to 440 lbs.

Ergonomic multi-position handlebars provide multiple hand-placement options, while a comfort stop brake lever provides convenient access to an additional safety control.
