The participant and their wheelchair are a unified force, and we understand the importance of measuring them together without any hassle.
Unlock the full potential of wheelchair users with the Esseda’s cutting-edge features. Get real-time feedback on technique, wheelchair performance, and mobility. Improve seating position, propulsion, and prevent injuries with personalized training programs. Gain valuable insights to enhance performance and overall well-being.
Esseda wheelchair ergometer
Endless possibilities
The Esseda is not just limited to one purpose; it’s a versatile tool with endless possibilities. Improve seating position, enhance propulsion, prevent injuries, and conduct capacity testing for athletes or patients. Whether you’re an athlete aiming for peak performance or a healthcare professional focused on rehabilitation, the Esseda has got you covered.
Propulsion measurement
What sets the Esseda apart is its cutting-edge technology. The individual propulsion measurement for each wheel provides precise force analysis on both sides. The high measurement frequency ensures we capture even the tiniest nuances in propulsion technique, allowing you to make informed adjustments for optimal performance.
Revolutionizing Wheelchair Fitness and Performance
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. This is now possible with the Esseda: empowering athletes, enhancing performance, and transforming lives!
Why the Esseda
Realistic wheelchair propulsion
Experience realistic wheelchair propulsion with the Esseda’s inertia-based system. Simulate various surfaces with adjustable resistance and create customized test and training protocols. The easy and flexible fixation system ensures a perfect fit, while the integrated tool outlines the wheelchair for optimal positioning.
Accuracy
What sets the Esseda apart is its precision. Measure force separately on both sides, detect minute differences in technique, and witness the impact of even the slightest changes in propulsion. Our high measurement frequency guarantees you won’t miss a single detail.
Realtime Feedback
The Esseda offers real-time feedback, revolutionizing rehabilitation training. Optimize propulsion techniques, prevent injuries, and unleash your full potential. The possibilities are endless with this game-changing ergometer.
Enhanced Calibration
No more guesswork! Calibration is done with the athlete in the wheelchair, accounting for their weight to provide the most realistic and accurate simulation.
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!
Features Esseda
SNN
Full dynamic inertia simulation
– user weight
– wheelchair weight
– surface resistance
Full dynamic calibration
Full dynamic calibration enables a better arrangement and simulation of the resistance.
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
Safe fixation
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

Frequently asked questions
Is Lode recommending special disinfection procedures for the Lode products due to COVID-19?
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.
