Easily prepare and execute tests and training
Lode ergometers and treadmills can be controlled with the Programmable Control Unit with 7″ Touchscreen for ergometer. Parameters like workload (ergometers), and speed and inclination (treadmills) can be changed both with the use of protocols as well as manually on the Control Unit during exercise.
The program function enables testing and training on Lode devices with a controlled change in workload during exercise with the use of protocols. Protocols manage the load, speed and inclination during exercise in steps, ramps or even a heart rate controlled function without having to change this manually during exercise. Defining the protocols beforehand not only provides a controlled workload, but also gives room to focus on the test subjects during exercise.
Up to 50 protocols can be programmed. It also contains already predefined protocols.
- For treadmills these protocols are Balke, modified Balke, Bruce, modified Bruce, Chung, low level Chung, Claudicationet, Ellestad, Naughton and paediatric Bruce.
- For ergometers the Åstrand test, steep ramp test, 20 Watt/min, 25 Watt/min, Interval 25-75, Hollmann, WHO and Ramp 0-300W protocol are pre-programmed.
The program function also makes it possible to directly start an exercise with a target heartrate, distance, time or energy expenditure. Furthermore, it is possible to include blood pressure measurements in protocols when integrated BPM is available.
Various parameters can be visualized during the training:
- protocol
- actual and target load
- alpha or torque (ergometer)
- actual and target inclination (treadmill)
- actual and target, speed (treadmill)
- rotations per minute (ergometer)
- distance
- time
- energy
- mode
- height (treadmill)
- heartrate (only combined with the HR option)
- BPM (only combined with the integrated BPM option)
- SpO2 (only combined with the SpO2 option)

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.
